History

The inaugural Fargo Marathon took place on May 14, 2005.[2][3]

In 2010, Runner's World named it the marathon with the best value.[4][3]

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of running the race virtually, transferring their entry to 2021, or obtaining a full refund.[5][6]

Similarly, the 2021 edition of the race was postponed to September 25, 2021 due to the pandemic.[7][8]

The marathon course also crosses over the Red River into Minnesota and back, spending about 6 mi (10 km) in Moorhead, Fargo's twin city.[11]
