The Flying Pig probably has one of the best expos I have been to yet. Lots of goodies, swag and P&G hands out lots of samples. Many other races are there handing out discount codes and information. Tons of vendors and many of them local like my favorite headbands, Sweaty Bands.

The Flying Pig marathon should be on everyone's list of races to run. The race director is awesome and she goes above and beyond to make sure the runners have a wonderful experience and that is just what I had.

I wasn't planning on running in this race, but after my first marathon just a few months earlier I thought what the heck. We had a great group of runners in my area who ran part of the 5k, 10k, relay, half and full together. Typically is has always seemed like it has rained during the Flying Pig, but this year it did not, but instead it was hot hot hot. I felt like bacon when the race was over. The course does have some hills in it, but if you hill train it shouldn't be so bad. The crowd support is amazing. People from NKY and Cincy line the streets and really help keep you motivated. There are a few spots understandably that don't have a crowd, but it is not bad at all.

Once the race is over they have a great area for you to grab some soup, bagels, bananas and so much more.

I would totally recommend this race. Fly little piggies fly!!
