HALF MARATHON:

The FM Half Marathon will start (at 8:30 am) and finish at the Fargo Civic Center in downtown Fargo. Runners will head into Moorhead via the 1st Avenue Bridge, then begin a scenic tour of beautiful residential neighborhoods which border the Red River. The fall colors will be in full force as runners traverse a route that is completely new to the FM running scene. Continuing beyond I-94 via Rivershore Drive, runners will see some of south Moorhead's finest streets and trails... many of which are recently re-surfaced. A quick loop in south Moorhead will bring runners back to Gooseberry Park, where they will cross the Red River footbridge and get into Lindenwood Park. From there, it will be the best fall running available in the region! Beautiful trees and the mighty Red River will border your paved trail journey back to the Fargo Civic Center Finish Line!

10K RUN:

The 10K runners will start promptly at 8:10 am and follow the same beautiful neighborhood course, through Moorhead, as the half marathon. The only change for them is that they will head into Gooseberry Park right away (avoiding the south Moorhead loop) and then take the Lindenwood trails back to the Civic Center. It's just about half the distance... but 100% beautiful!

5K RUN/WALK:

The 5K Run/Walk will begin at 8:05 am from the downtown Civic Center. All runners/walkers will follow the other routes into Moorhead, but turn north into the Hjemkost Center instead of the southern path of the 10K and Half Marathoners. The 5K Run/Walk will take participants through the north Moorhead trail system and over to the Footbridge which brings them into the Oak Grove Park. From there, runners will follow all trails back to the Fargo Civic Center Finish Line! You can envision just how awesome this course is going to be... trails, trees and bridge! What more could anyone want on a crisp, cool October morning?
