Fargo Marathon
Fargo Marathon is a flat marathon in Fargo, USA, held each May. Pancake-flat, starting and finishing inside the Fargodome and crossing the Red River into Moorhead, Minnesota, and back. Variable spring weather, typically 8-18C; wind is common on the plains. Flat courses like Fargo's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
