This week on Rocky’s Downtown Hour, host Rocky Schneider takes us on a journey through downtown Fargo’s outdoor spirit — from its bustling Broadway sidewalks to the hidden beauty of the river trails. With the Fargo Mini Marathon making a triumphant return after a five-year hiatus, Rocky chats with James Botnan about bringing back the race, honoring the late Mark Knutson’s Shoes for Kids Legacy Fund, and how nearly 900 runners are reigniting Fargo’s fitness community.
Then, Sally Loeffler, co-owner of Beyond Running, shares what it takes to keep a running store thriving downtown for nearly two decades, plus tips for staying active through the changing seasons. And finally, Patrick Crary joins live from the construction site of Fargo’s newest beginner-friendly mountain bike trail — a community-driven project turning riverfront greenspace into a hub for family adventure and confidence-building rides.
🏃♀️ From marathon memories to mountain bike magic, this episode celebrates how Fargo’s downtown isn’t just about buildings — it’s about movement, connection, and making the outdoors everyone’s playground.
