We are giving kids the real Bismarck Marathon race experience!
Kids of ALL ages will finish their race under an arch, just like the one that our other races finish under! Most races will take place inside the Capitol Grounds loop where there is grass to prioritize the safety of the kids.
We have different distances to accommodate kids of all ages.
PLUS this race is FREE and includes a kids water bottle!
This FREE water bottle comes with EVERY registration for the Kids Mini Marathon thanks to Bartlett & West!
