2026 Fargo Marathon

Race Information

The Fargo Marathon is one of the best small-town marathons in the United States, and for good reason. The race offers 26.2 miles (Or 13.1 if you opt for the half marathon) of Midwestern charm, a town-wide cheering section, and 50+ live bands and DJs to keep you entertained and motivated. It truly is an experience like no other.

The fun doesn’t stop there. This event is a week-long celebration of running and endurance that includes 7 total events -- from the extremely popular Friday Night 5K to the Furgo Dog Run and Cyclothon events. Everyone is welcome to participate, spectate, and enjoy, so what are you waiting for? Secure your spot today. Uff-da!

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