🏃‍♂️ Fargo Mini 2026...

Back for Another Year!

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

Runners, families, and the Fargo–Moorhead community came out in a big way, and we’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 Saturday’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 you’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.

📍 Location: Fargo Civic Center

📅 Date: October 16 & 17, 2026

🏁 Distances: 5K | 10K | Half Marathon

Join us as we continue this exciting new chapter of the Fargo Mini...bigger, stronger, and here to stay.
