The Flying Pig Marathon - Cincinnati



Strangely, considering the media tsunami on swine flu over recent weeks, the surplus of pig jokes, pig costumes, pig statues, pig shirts, pig noses, pig tails, and finally, the "finish swine" just seemed to get funnier every mile of the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon last Sunday.

There were neighborhoods in this race where I wanted to just plunk down and party with the neighbors! Oh, if all cities got behind their marathons like the citizens of Cincinnati.




P.S. If you can't access it from the comments on my previous posting of for the Big Sur marathon...turns out there was actually someone running ahead of me at Big Sur who videoed his marathon. By some weird twist of cyber fate, he found my blog on the internet and let me know that I had actually passed him at mile 25 and he was able to video my finish! The Internet is indeed a strange place. Check it out http://www.theradioroom.org/Running/BSIM2009/BSIM2009.htm

Oh I love that Pig with the hydration belt......what fun.
If you cant access link for Lee's Big Sur finish, you can click on posters name and that takes you to his website where you can find 'movie' or you can youtube it.
Cool to play it and relive it.

Great video of Big Sur with an awesome finish-Congrats!
Glad to hear that the Flying Pig Marathon is still such a fun one to do-and isn't the medal amazing! One I would love to go back and do again.
