The Route 

This race is the only race to date that has used the entire length of Mandan's Historic Main street. The only time you get to run Main Street is at the 4th of July Race. The race starts at the intersection of 3rd Ave NW and West Main Street.  The runners will run about half a mile west on Main Street to 10th Ave NW and turn around and head east on Main Street to the turn  around Just before Burger King on east Main Street and then returns to the starting area in front of the Mandan Depot.  The route gives the runners the benefit of having the cheers of thousands of spectators waiting for the Mandan Independence Day Parade to start.  The course is relatively flat and has the potential to produce fast times. 
Proceeds from the Race go to:
