Fargo Mini Marathon
The Fargo Mini Marathon is a two day running event held October 16 and 17, 2026, in Fargo, North Dakota. The event uses the Fargo Civic Center for its start and finish and routes run mostly along the Red River bike paths, with nearly 90% of the course on those paths.
Distances offered include:
- 5K (Friday night, costumes encouraged)
- 10K (Saturday)
- Half Marathon (Saturday)
- Red River Double 5K and Half Marathon (combined entry)
- Red River Double 5K and 10K (combined entry)
The Friday 5K is presented as an evening run with a festive atmosphere and encourages costumes. Two combined entries pair the Friday 5K with a Saturday race; those combined entries provide a stated $10 discount compared with separate registrations. Event entries list fees for individual and combined options.
The Fargo Mini Marathon identifies community support as part of the event and names the Mark Knutson Shoes for Kids Legacy Fund as a beneficiary. The description above is limited to scheduled dates, location, course characteristics, offered distances, combined entry options, and the named community support fund.
