2027 Flying Pig Marathon
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.
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.

The course starts and finishes in downtown Cincinnati and crosses the Ohio River into Kentucky early on, passing through Newport and Covington before returning to Ohio over the bridges. It then climbs through Eden Park, East Walnut Hills and Mariemont before a fast descent along the Ohio River Scenic Byway to the downtown 'Finish Swine.'
