Fitz Koehler takes you behind the microphone at the Essentia Health Fargo Marathon, reconnecting with old Fargo friends, paying tribute to beloved founder Mark Knutson, and sharing the funny, chaotic, and heartwarming moments that only the race announcer gets to witness.

From Cancer and Stroke survivors to an 87-year-old ultrarunner and a brain-tumor survivor chasing the finish line, Fitz celebrates the extraordinary people who make race weekend unforgettable. Add in incredible volunteers, lifesaving medical teams, electric finish-line energy, and a few memorable after-party adventures, and you’ve got a front-row seat to one of America’s most inspiring marathon weekends.
