---

The 2027 Flying Pig Marathon is a hilly, scenic Cincinnati classic that starts and finishes in downtown Cincinnati, crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky, and features a sustained mid-course climb and a fast downhill finish. It is USATF-certified and a Boston qualifier, with a 7-hour time limit.

Why attend here

In early May, Cincinnati shakes off spring showers for mild, sunny days — ideal for a 42k that dips into Kentucky and climbs back through Eden Park's blooming hills. Reward yourself afterward with a goetta-topped breakfast or a chili three-way, then stroll the Banks riverfront as the Ohio glows at dusk.
