The Fargo Marathon Board, the Fargo Marathon Committee and myself are excited to partner with Sanford moving forward,” said Mark Knutson, director of the Sanford Fargo Marathon.

Sanford Health has a long history of supporting the marathon, from training runners to volunteering on the race route to providing medical services for participants. “When you think about the types of events we can get behind as business leaders in our community, the partnership between Fargo Marathon and Sanford Health is perfect.
