BISMARCK MARATHON

Introduced in 1981 by the Missouri Valley YMCA, Bismarck’s marathon has evolved into one of the state’s premiere running events. With breathtaking scenery along the out-and-back course that parallels the Missouri River, runners are treated to a fast, flat course that promises experienced runners new PR opportunities and novices a great race experience. What’s more, the course is USATF certified, meaning marathoners hoping to qualify for the Boston Marathon may do so here.
