๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Fargo Mini 2026...

Back for Another Year!

After a highly successful return in 2025, the Fargo Mini is officially back for 2026! ๐ŸŽ‰

Runners, families, and the Fargoโ€“Moorhead community came out in a big way, and weโ€™re excited to build on that energy for another unforgettable race weekend.

The Fargo Mini features a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, welcoming everyone from first-time racers to seasoned runners chasing new goals. With a start and finish inside the Fargo Civic Center and nearly 90% of the course along the scenic Red River bike paths, this event offers a fast, fun, and beautiful race experience through the heart of our community.

The Friday night 5K returns with its fun, festive atmosphere (costumes encouraged), followed by Saturdayโ€™s 10K and Half Marathon, perfect for runners looking to challenge themselves on a well-supported course.

Once again, the Fargo Mini is proud to support the Mark Knutson Shoes for Kids Legacy Fund, continuing a legacy of giving back and helping ensure kids in our community have access to shoes and opportunities to stay active.

Whether youโ€™re racing for a PR, running with friends, or simply soaking in the energy of race weekend, the Fargo Mini is about community, celebration, and the joy of running.
