North Dakota State Fair Run the Route 5K

The North Dakota State Fair hosts an annual event known as Run the Route, inviting participants to join in a run along the parade route. Registration is available online, as well as on the day of the event at the packet pickup location. Entry fees vary by age, and participants receive a T-shirt if they're among the first 300 registrants. Finishers receive a ticket to the State Fair, with additional prizes for top finishers. A portion of the proceeds will benefit local children's running programs.
