Review:
The Fargo Marathon started in May 2002 as the Scheels All Sports Run for the Children Half Marathon with 300 young participants and it has grown to 24,000 participants in 2014.
It now includes the Largest Kid's Race, Half Marathon, 5K Walk/Run, Full Marathon, 10K, and relays. A range of activities takes place before and after the marathon, bringing the whole of Fargo and many visitors together. The marathon race starts from the Fargodome where 15,000 spectators cheer on the participants, and from there it takes off to the tree-lined streets of North Fargo.
40 rock bands and DJ's line the entire 26.2 miles, keeping the party atmosphere going. The finish line is back at the Fargodome, and the race is a qualifier for the legendary Boston Marathon.
