The Flying Pig Marathon, Cincinnati

"When Pigs Fly!" The Best Marathon for Beginners

You may have an OINKLING that you want to run a marathon some day but as soon as it crosses your mind that sensible voice screeches "When Pigs Fly."

I am sorry to say the Pigs have taken flight to the tune of nearly 100,000 runners SQUEALING with delight as they run one of the Worlds Most Fun Marathons. So When Pig's Fly is no longer an excuse, get your little PIGGIES to Cincinnati for The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon.

If you are considering the PIG consider this press release on The Flying Pig Website:

The Flying Pig Marathon has been named one of the top 10 "Most Fun Runs" in the world by Runner's World magazine, one of the best corporate brands by Fast Company and is listed in "The Traveling Marathoner: A Complete Guide To Top U.S. Races and Sightseeing on the Run," by Elise Allen.

If you are not SQUEALING about that I don't know what to tell you!

Poke your SNOUT around and don't get your TAIL IN A TWIST, I am just getting started on this lens. I have plenty of PORK in the barrel and will be adding features leading up to this years 10th Anniversary Running.

FYI - Get signed up early this year.

Iris Simpson-Bush, executive director of the Flying Pig Marathon in her Ipig broadcast expects some of the races to reach capacity this year.
