Flying Pig Fitness Gig

Welcome to the Flying Pig Fitness Gig!

The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon and Time Warner Cable welcome you to the "Flying Pig Fitness Gig," a program for students to learn about health, fitness and nutrition in conjunction with the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon.

The "Gig" is a series of lesson plans designed to help students learn about math, health, and social studies while having fun with the "Pig." The "Gig" aims to raise the level of activity among students, while getting a new, younger audience interested in the Flying Pig Marathon's activities. The studies wrap up with class participation in the Flying Pig Marathon weekend May 5-7, 2004, either at the Piglet on Saturday, May 6 with a one-mile or 5K fun run, or for the older students, the 10K on Saturday, May 6.

The plans, developed by Pat Cordes, a retired Cincinnati educator, were written to fulfil Ohio state standards, with consultation from two local educators and Flying Pig Marathon board members, Dr. Barbara Walker and Dr. Douglas Olberding. They can be extended to complement any grade level and any curriculum path needed for your particular class.

If you have further questions about the "Flying Pig Fitness Gig," or want to schedule a mascot visit, please call the Flying Pig Marathon office at (513) 721-PIGS.

The Flying Pig Marathon and Time Warner are pleased to have your class "Get Jiggy with the Piggy!"
