The Eye-Q Two Cities Marathon is this Sunday, November 8. Five-thousand runners from five countries will run the marathon, half-marathon or relay. Volunteers are being recruited to help out along the race course. Organizers are hoping for 1200 volunteers--1000 have already signed up. If you'd like to help out, go to Runfresno.com

There's still time to sign up to take part in the race as a runner or walker.

Here's information from the RunFresno website:

This World Class Event has it all! Boston qualifier, $10,000 prize purse, a 2-day Health and Fitness Expo with running legend Dick Beardsley and our Michelob Ultra Celebration Beer Garden. We also offer the BEST amenities - technical long-sleeve event shirt, Finisher's sweatshirt, custom medallion, hot breakfast, FREE massages and our signature ice cream sundae!

Along with our 4-person EECU Relays we continue to support our half marathon WALKERS division!

The looped marathon course starts in Fresno and runs in upscale scenic neighborhoods lined with brilliant autumn foliage. You will enjoy running through historic "old" Town Clovis (hence Two Cities) as you are cheered on by supporting spectators. You will complete your journey into the 300 acre Woodward Park's Amphitheater where you will enjoy the nation's finest marathon breakfast, lively music, free massages and a beer-garden for those old enough to enjoy!
