Event Description

The Fargo Mini is Back — and Running for a Cause!  

After a break the last 5+ years, we’re honored and grateful to announce the return of the Fargo Mini Marathon, coming this October 2025!   
We’ve been working with local entities, key stakeholders, and potential sponsors to bring this beloved event back. Together, we’re creating a world-class experience that not only celebrates running and community, but also gives back in a meaningful way.

Running with Purpose — This year’s Fargo Mini will proudly support the Mark Knutson Shoes for Kids Legacy Fund, a cause close to our hearts. A portion of the proceeds will help provide shoes for children in the FMWF and surrounding school districts. Continuing Mark’s legacy of compassion, community, and commitment with the importance of physical fitness, particularly for kid’s right to run, play, and thrive.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply here to enjoy the vibe, this event is for everyone. Come experience the challenge, the joy, and the mission as we run through beautiful Fargo, North Dakota & Moorhead, MN.

The wait is over, and we’re ready to make this return unforgettable. Grab your shoes, tell your friends, and get ready to run the Fargo Mini, with heart.
