In the celebration of the city of Cincinnati and the Flying Pig Marathon, Skyline Chili is proud to present the 3-Way and 4-Way Challenge in the Flying Pig Marathon weekend of events. (The events’ namesakes are the Skyline 3-Way, a Cincinnati signature dish crafted from chili, spaghetti, and cheese; and the Skyline 4-Way, crafted from chili, spaghetti, cheese, and onions.)

HISTORY OF SKYLINE CHILI
Elite athletes pursue dreams with enviable enthusiasm. In 1949, Nicholas Lambrinides began pursuing his dream in a similar way–by working incredibly hard to make his delicious secret recipes for appreciative customers. Since then, Skyline (named for a view from the first restaurant in Price Hill) has been delighting generations with their famous Ways, coneys, and fast tableside service. Skyline Chili serves its Cincinnati-style chili in over 130 restaurants and thousands of grocery stores, making it one of the truly unique regional taste sensations in America. Like the Flying Pig Marathon, Skyline is dedicated to bringing friends and families together for an experience like no other. Skyline Chili is synonymous with Cincinnati-style chili throughout the world.
PACKET PICK-UP
Packet Pickup will be held at the P&G Health & Fitness Expo located in the Duke Energy Convention Center.
We recommend picking up your packets on Friday at the expo (all three packets will be grouped together).
If picking up on Saturday, you will pick up your 5K and 10K packets on-site Saturday morning. After the 5K and 10K, you will pick up your half or full marathon packet, shirt, premium gift, and poster at the P&G Health & Fitness Expo.
PARTICIPANT AMENITIES
All registered participants will receive a shirt for each event, premium gift, limited-edition poster, and virtual goodie bag.
All 3-Way/4-Way finishers will receive a finisher’s medal for each event, an additional 3-Way/4-Way medal, additional to be determined premiums, mylar blanket, and Finish-area refreshments. Finisher’s certificates will be available to download after the race.
SATURDAY EVENTS
To get to the 5K Start from the 10K Finish, continue straight out of finish line chute on to Mehring Way. The 5K start is on Mehring Way approximately 200 ft. from the 10K start. Baggage buses will be located on Elm St. just north of Mehring Way if you need those between races.
NEW FOR 2023: Challenge participants will receive 1 (one) bib to wear for both the 5K and 10K. Bag check will be available to drop off your 10K medal between races.
SUNDAY EVENTS
You will NOT be awarded the 3-Way/4-Way Challenge finisher’s medal in the finish area. To be awarded this medal, you must visit the 3-Way/4-Way Challenge Premiums tent in the post-race victory party.
You must have completed Saturday’s 5K and 10K to receive your “Challenge” premiums. We will have a list of Saturday’s finishers at the 3-Way/4-Way Challenge premiums tent confirming completion of the entire Skyline Chili 3-Way/4-Way Challenge.
