In 2010, Fargo Marathon and Dick Beardsley Races Director, Mark Knutson and Fargo Marathon, Inc. established its Shoes for Kids Campaign, aimed at supporting children across the Fargo community. Tragically, in July 2023, Mark's untimely passing left a profound void in our hearts and in the community he held dear. In light of this enormous loss, the Knutson family kindly requests that donations be made to Shoes for Kids in Mark's memory, ensuring the continuation of his remarkable legacy and dedication to a cause that meant so much to him.
