About the BurliMOT Half Marathon, Relay, 5K, and 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll

The course follows the Souris Valley along dedicated paths, connecting Burlington to downtown Minot. It is a point-to-point route, so the finish is somewhere different from where you start. The path runs through both communities and mostly follows dedicated running and biking infrastructure, keeping you off busy roads for the bulk of it.

Shuttles run from the finish area in Citizens Alley out to the half marathon start in Burlington, but space is tight, so carpooling is worth arranging. Packet pickup happens the evening before in Oak Park, with a second window on race morning at the finish line. Bag drop is available at the start locations, with bags transported to Citizens Alley for pickup after you finish.

Common Questions About the BurliMOT Half Marathon, Relay, 5K, and 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll

Will I finish last at the BurliMOT Half Marathon, Relay, 5K, and 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:10:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:34:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the BurliMOT Half Marathon, Relay, 5K, and 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (134 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the BurliMOT Half Marathon, Relay, 5K, and 1 Mile Walk/Run/Roll?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:20:27 while the median finisher took 2:10:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
