About the event
The Flying Pig Marathon isn’t just a race - it’s a Cincinnati institution. Since 1999, this Boston-qualifying event has drawn thousands of runners to its challenging yet scenic course. The marathon winds through downtown, crosses historic bridges, and takes athletes past the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods before finishing along the riverfront. What sets the Flying Pig apart? The legendary crowd support. Expect roaring spectators, live music, and whimsical pig-themed cheer zones fuelling every mile. Runners of all levels can find their place here, with race distances spanning 5K to 50K, plus the PigAbilities division for adaptive athletes. The experience extends beyond race day, with a massive two-day expo, post-race celebrations, and plenty of local flavor—including the city’s famous Skyline Chili. Whether you're chasing a PR or just soaking in the atmosphere, this is an event where every runner feels like a champion.
Cincinnati is more than just the Queen City—it’s a vibrant hub of history, food, and sports. Nestled along the Ohio River, the city boasts a dynamic downtown, award-winning breweries, and the iconic Roebling Suspension Bridge, a blueprint for the Brooklyn Bridge. Beyond race weekend, visitors can explore the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, indulge in local staples like Graeter’s Ice Cream, or catch a game at Great American Ball Park. Easy to reach via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), the city blends big-city energy with Midwestern charm—making it an ideal destination race.
A Course Built for Speed & Scenery – A mix of urban streets, riverfront views, and rolling hills keeps things engaging, while the net downhill finish helps runners close strong.
Unmatched Community Support – From creative cheer zones to thousands of energetic spectators, the Flying Pig is known for its nonstop crowd energy and quirky, pig-themed fun.
More Than Just a Marathon – With multiple distances, a lively expo, and a full weekend of events, runners of all levels can experience the excitement of one of the most beloved race weekends in the US.
