Sunday on Indianapolis This Week: The Monumental Marathon promised a big announcement Monday, and Evan Bayh's former top man all but confirmed his own run for governor.
First up, Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Executive Director Blake Boldon visited the studio promising a "very exciting announcement" from the organization in the coming week.
"Last year before the marathon you asked me a very pointed question: Will we ever be like the Boston Marathon? Is that our goal" Boldon told ITW Host Rafael Sanchez. "I think by the end of the week we're going to have some very excited news to help elevate us toward that goal."
More than 13,000 runners attended the event in 2013. The marathon will host its 8th running on November 7.

Last month, the former chief of staff for Evan Bayh came on Indianapolis This Week to lay out the reasons he was considering a run for the governor's mansion.
Now, Tom Sugar has all but confirmed he will throw his hat in the race against fellow Democrat John Gregg and incumbent Republican Governor Mike Pence.
I've made my decision. Stay tuned.

"I know what we have to be talking about," Sugar told RTV6's Katie Heinz in August. "I know the reform that is essential to make our government work. And I will use every means in my power to make sure people hear it."
