Registration for Hope and Possibility
The Flying Pig Marathon has partnered with The Resident Home Corporation (RHC) and The New York City Achilles Track Club to present the 2nd Annual Hope & Possibility 5K Run/Walk. The Hope & Possibility event will offer a unique opportunity for everyone in the Greater Cincinnati area. Our goal is to encourage people of ALL abilities to be a part of a fun event while meeting new friends along the way. The race will pair people with varying abilities on the course and in training. The pairing of the teams will allow the partners to push each other's competitive edge and build a bond beyond their physical realities. The Hope & Possibility is a run that will break down barriers and create a unique opportunity for integration and inclusion. For more information regarding the Hope & Possibility please visit www.rhcorp.org or download the details.
