Fargo Marathon 20th Anniversary

Uff da! America’s Best Small-Town race is back for its 20th Anniversary in 2024! We’re bringing that sweet midwestern charm for a week-long celebration of running May 28 through June 1, 2024 – and there’s really nothing small about it. Because when we say celebration, we mean it – like 50+ live bands, and a town-wide cheering section to keep you moving and grooving.

Not to mention 7 total events, from the full and half marathon to a Friday Night 5k, Furgo Dog Run (woof-da), and Cyclothon events! Will there be a party at the end? Yep, you betcha! The 27th Mile Post Race Party will be rockin’ with music, food, cold beer and fun!

The marathon course is USATF-certified and an official Boston qualifier
