---

The Two Cities Marathon is a flat, fast, USATF-certified Boston qualifier on the Fresno-Clovis Rail Trail, starting and finishing at Clovis Community College. It is one of California's flattest road marathons with minimal elevation change, and the course runs through quiet north-Fresno avenues and a long stretch of the paved rail trail, looping through Clovis neighborhoods and parks.

Why attend here

November in Fresno brings crisp, clear days and golden light on the almond and pistachio orchards lining the course—ideal running weather with the summer heat gone. After the race, wander the historic Tower District for a slice of pepper-tree-shaded Americana and a burrito at a local taqueria, or unwind with a glass of Central Valley wine at a downtown tasting room.
