With thousands of runners hitting the streets for the Bismarck Marathon, staying connected on race day matters! Thanks to Midco for providing WiFi at the Capitol, our team was able to get results quickly and keep our announcer updated with runner times, finishes and race updates throughout the day. 🛜

Midco Mobile was also proud to serve as the Official Cell Phone Partner of the Bismarck Marathon! 📱

A great race day takes a lot happening behind the scenes and we appreciate Midco helping keep us connected from start to finish. 🙌

80 years young and still crossing finish lines! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Sarah and Rudra showed us that age is just a number at the Bismarck Marathon! At 80 years old, Sarah completed the 5K while Rudra took on the Half Marathon!

An incredible reminder that you’re never too old to keep moving, keep challenging yourself, and keep showing up. 💪

Congratulations, Sarah & Rudra! 👏🏅

A marathon takes a lot more than runners to make it to the finish line! 🏃‍♂️💚

A huge THANK YOU to our contributing sponsors who helped make the 2026 Bismarck Marathon possible! From providing post-race food for our runners and meals for our hardworking volunteers, to supplying equipment, an RV, accommodations, emergency support and other race-day essentials - these businesses stepped up in a BIG way.

There are so many moving pieces behind an event of this size, and the generosity and support of our community partners helps us create the experience our runners, volunteers and spectators deserve.

We appreciate each and every one of you! 👏

Talk about commitment to the Bismarck Marathon! 😳

Ross (left) has now run the Bismarck Marathon 36 consecutive years, making him our longest-running consecutive participant! Right behind him is Tracy (right), who just completed his 20th straight year.

Ross is looking to keep that record going…but Tracy is slowly sneaking up on him. 👀

Two incredible streaks and a whole lot of miles. Thank you both for making the Bismarck Marathon an annual tradition! 🙌🏼

A big thank you to H.A. Thompson & Sons for sponsoring our Create Your Own Sign station at the Bismarck Marathon! 🙌🏼

Tons of spectators stopped by to make their own signs and show some love for their friends, family and ALL the runners out on the course. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️❤️

There’s nothing like seeing a familiar face, and a homemade sign, when you need that extra boost!

Thank you, H.A. Thompson & Sons, for helping our spectators bring the energy on race day!
