Fargo Marathon: Very Popular 2010 Fargo Marathon

Fargo Marathon: Very Popular 2010 Fargo Marathon The Fargo Marathon is essentially growing by leaps and bounds.It’s been six years since the first race and now, ten times as many runners are registered to give it a run. Friday’s 5-kilo run had about 6,500 runners and in 2005 the first Fargo Marathon only had 2,271. For now, 2,200 runners have signed up to run the full marathon. The marathon spouts a large number of runners along with the 6,500 who ran the half, 1,600 for the team relays, 2,800 for the 10K and the youth run even brought 2,400 runners. That’s a lot of children if you look at this from that stand point alone. Last year’s total was only 14,000. Just for the record, that’s a lot of runners beating the path for the Fargo Marathon in one way.
