Brief Description

The Athletic Republic Run has been the lakes area premier half-marathon, half-marathon relay, 5K and 1-mile event since 2007. With race numbers doubling every year since it’s beginning, we’re expecting 1500 runners/walkers in 2013. The beautiful scenery of the Fergus Falls area, the variety of race lengths and ideal temperates in early June make the race a perfect fit for the casual runner/walker to the serious competitor who wants to tackle the challenging hills of the half-marathon course.

2013 Proceeds

All proceeds will go to Lake Region Healthcare's Cancer Care & Research Center.

Online Registration

Online Registration closes on Thursday, May 30th at 11:59pm. Participants can still register for the event on Friday and on race day until 8:00am, at Athletic Republic located at 619 S. Cascade St.

Combo Race

In 2013 a Combo Race participant can race in the 5K & 1-mile! Races start with a large gap to allow family & friends to participate with children in the 1-mile & then run the 5K. Anybody who signs up for the Combo will be treated as a 5K racer meaning that you will receive a 5K t-shirt & be considered for awards only in the 5K. Any child under 12 that races in the Combo will receive a 1-mile medal and still be considered in their age category for the 5K. No 1-mile shirts will be given.

Additional Information

In 2012 the 2-person half marathon relay was a hit; a great event for those looking for something longer than a 5K, but not as long as a 1/2 marathon. Proceeds benefit Lake Region Healthcare's Cancer Care and Research Center. Area temperatures average between 76°F and 55°F in June, while rainfall amounts average about 3.75 inches for the month.
