In its 16th year and presented by CalViva Health, 2CM takes place in the central valley of California along the border of Fresno and Clovis. Our events offer scenic and truly flat PR courses for elite and beginners alike.  Unique features of our Boston qualifying marathon distance include the Boston Challenge and  an exciting Final Mile Competition in the full and half distances. 

Our moderate central valley fall temps bring about the perfect running weather for your next PR. With low temps averaging out in the 50s and topping out under 70 degrees during our event, Two Cities brings your ideal race conditions. 

Just 60 miles from Yosemite, Fresno and its sister city Clovis, sit as the Gateway to Yosemite National Park as well as Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, home of some of the largest and oldest redwoods in the world!  With plenty of hotels to choose from you can see why many participants run, stay and play!

Kick off your Two Cities Marathon weekend at our Valley Fitness Health and Fitness Expo with over 10,000 other attendees! Explore a variety of vendors and scoop up all the SWAG as you pick up your race packet and other goodies! 

Friends and family welcome!
