May 10, 2014 - Fargo Half Marathon. Fargo North Dakota
Why would anyone intentionally go to Fargo North Dakota? A great question indeed! Well, I intentionally went and actually enjoyed the trip. Mostly so I could add state number 7 to my "run a full or half marathon in every state" goal. But also because I've never visited North Dakota and was curious if people really talk like the folks in the FARGO movie! "Yah", "you betcha", the movie is kinda weird and not sure I would recommend, but it was the first thing I thought of when looking to run in North Dakota. Now on to the trip and race review. Registration for the race was easy and there was great email communication up to the day of the event. Hotels close to the finish were a bit difficult to find unless you registered many months in advance. I registered in February, 3 months before the event, and the best hotel options were already taken. We ended up staying at Comfort Suites Fargo which was about 7 miles from the race st
