2026 Center of the Nation Series - Day 5 (ND)

Day 5 of the Center of the Nation Series is the North Dakota race at Bowman-Haley Lake in Bowman. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or marathon. The races have no time limits, making the event suitable for walkers, first-time runners, and those aiming to complete all series states at their own pace. The event is organized by the Mainly Family, the group behind the series. Its atmosphere is informal and energetic. Organizers highlight good food, award-winning medals, and a "Loony Community." The appeal lies not only in the distances but also in the group of runners who travel together from one event to the next.
