RegisterMandan Rodeo Days 4th of July Road Race
A Tradition That Runs Through the Heart of Mandan
Presented by Bismarck Magazine and Visit Mandan
Kick off your Independence Day in Mandan, North Dakota, with a fun, family-friendly tradition—the Mandan Rodeo Days 4th of July Road Race! This noncompetitive 5K Run/Walk is the only race that uses the entire length of Mandan’s historic Main Street—offering a truly unique course and experience. Starting at the intersection of 3rd Ave NW and West Main Street, participants run west to 10th Ave NW before turning around and heading east all the way to just before Burger King, then returning to the Mandan Depot finish line. Thousands of parade-goers line the route, creating an energizing atmosphere filled with cheers and celebration.
More than just a race, this long-standing event celebrates community, patriotism, and purpose. Each year, $10 from every registration is donated to the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation, with nearly $25,000 raised to date. Additional funds support Mandan Progress Organization and Visit Mandan —making every step meaningful.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or just out for fun, the course’s flat terrain offers the potential for fast times, memorable moments, and a perfect start to your 4th of July festivities.
