The course

The Fargo Marathon starts and finishes inside the Fargodome in Fargo, North Dakota, on a loop course through North and South Fargo. The route briefly crosses the Red River into Moorhead, Minnesota, around the early miles. It is extremely flat and fast, with only about 30 feet separating the highest and lowest points of the course; the only sharp climbs are short underpass dips. Much of the surface is concrete, and the course has many turns.
