Course Description
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon is a beautiful course, that “flies” along the streets of Cincinnati, Covington, Newport, Mariemont, Fairfax, and Columbia Township. Our course presents a well-balanced, diverse tour of some of the best neighborhoods in the area.
The course will close at a continuous pace of 16:00 minutes per mile. Anyone who cannot maintain the 16:00 minute per mile pace must move to the sidewalk as the course closes to allow regular traffic through. Runner services cannot be guaranteed for participants beyond the 16:00 minute per mile pace. Participants who do not reach the Frisch's Mainliner between miles 17 and 18 by 12:15pm will be bussed to the Eastern Avenue section of the course.
Minimum age for Marathon: 18 years old on race day
