The Scheels BurliMOT Half Marathon takes place in North Dakota, crossing through the communities of Burlington and Minot. The course primarily follows the Souris Valley using dedicated running and biking paths, eventually concluding in downtown Minot at Citizens Alley. The event includes several distances and formats to accommodate different types of participants.
Available Distances
The following distances are available for participants:
- Half Marathon: A 13.1 mile course starting in Burlington and ending in downtown Minot.
- Half Marathon Relay: A 13.1 mile team event for 2-4 participants with flexible exchange points.
- 5K: A 5-kilometer race starting at Oak Park that joins the half marathon course to finish downtown.
- 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll: An inclusive, non-timed event for all abilities and mobility aids.

Course Details and Amenities
The half marathon route features eight water stations, with four providing sports drinks. The course is marked with signage and supported by volunteer direction. The Half Marathon, 5K, and Relay are chip-timed events, with sensors attached to the participant bibs. A bag drop service is available at the start locations of the 5K and half marathon, with items transported to the finish line for retrieval.
Shuttles are available to transport participants from the finish area in downtown Minot to the start lines in Burlington and Oak Park. These shuttles have limited capacity and require tickets. For the relay, teams are responsible for their own transportation to exchange points, as shuttles do not service mid-course locations.
Participants in the timed events receive medals and custom shirts if registered by the specified deadline. The event concludes with a post-run gathering featuring food trucks, music, and an outdoor bar. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
