The See Dick Run Grand Forks 10 returns to Grand Forks, North Dakota on August 29th for its sixth edition. This year's race weekend kicks off with a beach party 5K event the night before. Race morning finds runners gathering by Altru Beach as temperatures hover around an average of 21°C, making it comfortable but not too hot. The course itself is set to traverse through downtown Grand Forks and along the greenways, offering scenic views of the Red River. Elevation remains minimal with a gentle incline leading from Sorlie Bridge into University Avenue before heading back towards Town Square. The See Dick Run tradition began in 2013 as part of a local charity event supporting various causes over the years. This year's race will continue to benefit these charities, providing participants not only with an exhilarating run but also a chance to contribute positively to their community. With nearly 500 runners expected, this event has become a significant annual gathering for locals and visitors alike. The GF Run for Fun 10K follows the same route as last year, starting on Sorlie Bridge before weaving through downtown streets and university grounds back to Town Square. The Grand Forks 10 Mile (GF10) will also follow this path but with a longer distance that challenges participants further.

The start location for the GF10 is Sorlie Bridge, located just off Broadway Street in downtown Grand Forks. Participants must be at least 21 years old by race day and are encouraged to arrive early to ensure they have time to warm up before the gun goes off at 7:30am sharp. This See Dick Run Grand Forks 10 is a celebration of local community spirit, offering runners an opportunity to enjoy both natural beauty and urban landscape in one seamless route.
