The full is hard – lots of hills! The weather was good in 2019 but I hit a terrible wall at 17. The crowd thins out a little bit after that, but once I got on Eastern I turned my attitude around. Swag is great, the organization itself is amazing.

I live in Cincinnati and love this race! It’s definitely hilly but the spectators make it all worth it. On top of that, it goes through all my favorite Cincinnati neighborhoods. Highly recommend for locals and out of towners.

I was pleasantly surprised by this race. The start was a little chaotic getting into the corrals but I managed. The first part of the half was a slow(ish) climb and a few bridges but that made for a nice downhill the last 3 or so miles. Weirdest thing was the tissues on the course. Swag was some of the best I’ve ever received because they have some great sponsors. And there was pizza at the end!!!

Supplement to the 3 or 4-way, this Friday night single mile is the Extra Cheese. Have fun, take your time – or, go flat out. Keep in mind, you have 9.3 the next day, Saturday followed by 13.1 or 26.2 on Sunday. The entire weekend is an experience, so don’t be too crazy. Slow and smell the roses.

Difficult course for miles 5-9, but the energy throughout the city makes it so fun! The Flying Pig offers a race for runners at all levels and the expo is second to none. A great way to see Cincinnati and get your miles in!

This race is a fantastic experience. It is produced flawlessly, has great support, fun aid stations, and wonderful entertainment. Run this race and you won’t be disappointed.

Everything about this race is top notch. Race organization and runner support is always outstanding before, during and after the race. The course has only one major hill around mile 6, but is flat, gently rolling and down hill for the rest of the race. There is always continuous crowd support and music throughout the course. One of the best!

Awesome crowd participation and aid stations. The scenery was great! Cincinnati is a lovely city and the motivational signs along the way were appreciated. The hills snuck up on me though, and I ended up tweaking my knee and having to walk after mile 19. The free pizza at the end was great! Salty gooey cheese hit the spot after that loooong walk.

One of the best marathons I’ve run. The spectators are simply amazing and the logistics to set up such a weekend festival is top notch. The medal is one to behold and hang with pride on your medal rack. The swag at the expo is like no other. The course is hilly, but with the spectators and multiple aid stations having your back, their energy is enough to propel you when the going gets tough.

The Cincinnati Flying Pig is a well-oiled machine. After 21 years the organizers definitely know what they are doing. The race swag is second to none, whether it is running jackets, running blankets, or custom coolers not to mention huge finisher medals and nice looking tech shirts. The crowds are loud and big including the Elvis impersonator going up Eden Park Drive. This should be your bucket list marathon.

This is a challenging course. The fan base is amazing! The swag bag is great. This race is a lot of fun and very interesting course. There are lots of water/Gatorade/snack stops. This is a big race so there are a lot of runners. This is a walker friendly race.

This race is a lot of fun. This was my second Flying Pig Half Marathon and next year I will be running in the full marathon. Can’t wait for the event next year. The expo has plenty of vendors and great deals on goods. The people (Grunts) as they are called do a tremendous job and the support on the course is second to none. It is a great weekend of fun. There are plenty of things to do around the area. The course is awesome where you get to run in Ohio and Kentucky. The people out on the course giving encouragement and moral support is great. My family looks forward to this event every year. My sister is the one that got me into running this event she competed in several Full Marathon Flying Pigs. I have only ran in two Half Marathons and both have been the Flying Pig. Great race with a lot of great people this is one that wont disappoint you at all. Come and enjoy the fun you won’t regret it.

The Flying Pig Weekend is a running party. Races of all distances and abilities. A challenge for a first timer or an experienced runner. The city of Cincinnati embraces the weekend and the race organization is second to none. More aid and entertainment along the course then you can take in. A tough course but a fun day!

There are a lot of hills in the first nine miles but it’s doable. The amount of support along the entire race really helps drive you to the finish. The last 3 miles are downhill or flat which is a great way to finish.

The Flying Pig weekend is one for the record books! I completed the 3 way challenge and all of the races were well organized and spaced out. The ease of the bag check was amazing! And, for the half marathon on Sunday, it was incredible to see the torches at the start line! I felt like a celebrity on the red carpet as I approached miles 5 and 8, with all of the spectators cheering us on! Where else will you get thousands of people cheering you on to accomplish your goal?! And, the scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect for race day. The post-race party was top notch. And, the SWAG! I absolutely LOVED all of the medals and the shirts! So cute and comfortable! This is one race I will never forget!

This race more than met my expectations. Before registering, I had heard people rave about this race and it didn’t disappoint. The expo was great to start (including the swag!) on race day, there were so many “grunts” working the race and everyone was friendly! Throughout the course I couldn’t believe the total number of spectators and fun aid stations. I’ve been running and racing for 8 years, but this was the best race for sure!
