The Fargo Marathon, now on it’s 6th year is one of the best marathons in the United States.
This year, ten times as many runners are registered for the Fargo Marathon 2010. According to Mark Knutson, director of Fargo Marathon, more than 20,000 runners had registered for the event when you take into account all the races. Friday’s 5-kilo run had about 6,500 runners and in 2005 the first Fargo Marathon only had 2,271. For now, 2,200 runners have signed up to run the full marathon.
Fargo first hosted the “Scheels All Sports Run for the Children Half Marathon” in May 2002. With 300 runners, it was already considered a huge race. After three years of the Half Marathon, Fargo jumped to a full marathon with over 2,400 participants. Every year participants in the Fargo Marathon increase that’s why it received the Runner’s World Reader’s Choice Award as the #1 Best Value Marathon in America.
The 2010 Fargo Marathon happens at the Fargodome. It is also the place to pick up packets, register, eat, join the terrific expo, listen to awesome speakers, and of course, start and end the race.
