Children’s Youth Run/Expo & Packet Pickup
May 19, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm CDT
As we prepare to celebrate 18 years of Rockin’ and Runnin’ in the 2022 Fargo Marathon, Thursday, May 19th, we also celebrate our youth runners who are celebrating 17 years with us! In 2005, about 100 kids lined up at the bike path along the Red River on a Friday night to kick off the very first event of the inaugural Fargo Marathon. Fast forward to our Youth Run in 2016, and we had over 2,800 kids who took part in the Fargo Marathon Youth Run!
The 2022 Youth Run will feature two different distances: 1/2 mile and 1 mile featuring the thrills and excitement of TNT Fitness – who help prepare the kids with fun music and stretches & warm ups and get them ready to run! The race is open to all children 12 and under. Parents/Guardians are welcome to run alongside their children or push them in a stroller, if necessary. The different age groups will start in waves so congestion is kept to a minimum. Safety is our first priority! All kids will finish inside a secured, fenced-in area.
Packet pickup for the youth run will be held on May 19 from 12:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.
