Charity Teams
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon recommends any of these "charity runner" training programs. You can make a difference by running your marathon through one of these groups. In addition to receiving a personalized training program, you can help some very good causes in their fund-raising goals. These programs are great for those who know they might need additional support and coaching to make it through their race.
