Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon & Half Marathon 

flying-pig.jpgJoin us on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 for the 11th annual Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon and half marathon!  If this is your first ever full or half marathon race, take courage as you'll be in great company!  The Flying Pig has made its mark for being the third-largest first-time marathon in the entire country. They welcome athletes of all running abilities, so whether you're an experienced competitor working on a personal best time or you're stepping out for your first major marathon, you are sure to find personal reward!

The 26.2 mile course consists of a tour through Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport and is known for its beautiful scenery of both the city and landmark neighborhoods.  Your family and friends who also enjoy running can not only cheer you on, but also sign up for a 10K run, 4 person relay race, 5K run/walk, or one mile fun run, all of which are hosted Saturday.  

In fact, this wonderful marathon weekend even includes a Piglet Fun Run for your children ages 5 and under.  And for the really courageous types, there's a hillarious Pump'n Run race, so tell everyone to polish those high heels and have some fun! 

And don't forget to join us at the Post Race Party on Sunday!  Meet some of our Active Water staff and coordinators at our first annual tent display within Charity Village and bring others to show them what they, too, could accomplish next year by joining you in participating in our Team Active Water challenge.  They'll see how your sacrifice is radically changing the health of families in African communities through clean water, hygiene, and sanitation projects!
