Midway through the week is a good time to let off some steam and what better than with a fun run. If you think running isn’t fun, then maybe a pint afterward will make it more palatable. You don’t need to run, you can walk, jog or skip along the 1 - 3 mile route. Sponsored by the Fresno Social Run Club, this weekly run ends at The Woodward Restaurant.
2. Vineyard Farmers Market
When: Wednesdays, 3 - 6 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m. - noon
