Marathon and Half Marathon Course
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon promises to be a beautiful course which "flies" along the streets of Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport. This race presents a well-balanced, diverse tour of some the best neighborhoods in the area.
This course is a Boston Qualifier.
ATTENTION ALL PARTICIPANTS:
For your safety and to be incompliance with course re-opening times, we must remind all participants of the 7 hour course limit.
ANYONE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN THE 7 HOUR PACE MUST ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING MILE CLOSING MARKS!
At the Half Marathon split at Woodburn and Madison roads we suggest that anyone behind the 7 hour pace follow the half marathon course to the finish.
At Frisch's at Columbia and Meadowlark Lane anyone not across this point by noon (5 ½ hours after the start) will not be permitted onto Columbia Parkway. Buses will have to take anyone slower than this time down to Eastern Avenue to complete the course.
At approximately MILE 20 near Linwood Avenue at Eastern, at 12:30pm and after, all will be directed onto the sidewalks to finish.
At approximately MILE 22 near Delta and Kellogg, at 12:45pm and after, all will be directed onto the sidewalks to finish.
At approximately MILE 24 at Collins and Riverside Drive, anyone reaching this point at 1:00pm and after, will be directed onto the sidewalks to finish.
It is our goal to assist every participant in finishing their particular event. We are, however, by order of the police department, required to keep all finishers who cannot maintain the 7-hour finisher pace, on sidewalks. We will have support vehicles that can provide water, Gatorade or Clif bars if needed.
We appreciate your compliance with these time restrictions and look forward to seeing you at the finish line!!
