The race will start at 12pm at the corner of Freedom Way and Rosa Parks Street. Each group will be assigned to a wave and will line up according to their wave sign on the plaza level of Paycor Stadium. Parents can look for signs with the school/group name in each wave.
The 26th Mile has thousands of participants. Most are in an organized group. We have assigned groups to 1 of 5 waves that will go off in short intervals, beginning at 12pm. This is to keep the finish line flowing smoothly and the children safe. If you are not part of a group, we strongly suggest that you line up in wave 2-5. Please arrive at the Start Line prior to 12pm. to get into your assigned wave.
In order to ensure the utmost safety and security for all participants, spectators, staff, volunteers and officials, we ask that all people on any Flying Pig Marathon race course be an officially registered participant, or an official volunteer. If your child is not part of an organized group with chaperones, you can register as a participant and stay with them on the course or have a clear plan for meeting after the finish at the Reunion Area on Mehring Way. Be sure to fill out race day contact information on the back of each child’s race bib.
The Finish Line needs to be a safe and secure place. Unfortunately, we cannot allow spectators access inside the finish area. Once participants cross the Finish "Swine”, they will be directed to chutes that will keep them moving toward their medals, and recovery snacks. They will exit onto Mehring Way and head to the reunion area marked with signs. It is a good idea for you to show this area to your child before the race. The Start and Finish Line are close together this year. Parents can easily maneuver from the Start Line to the Finish Line to watch their child start/finish.
