When Pigs Fly, Anything’s Possible 2026

The Flying Pig Marathon Weekend is Cincinnati’s main race weekend, featuring a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and the 50 West Mile, all organized by Pig Works. Participants include runners and walkers. The weekend also accommodates volunteers, spectators, charity fundraisers, and those who wish to join the "Pig Party." The event is part of a larger Cincinnati race schedule that includes the TQL Beer Series, the Queen Bee Half Marathon Weekend, and a Flying Pig and FC Cincinnati Friendly. Recent Flying Pig weekends have seen record participation and fastest times. Pig Works also contributes to the local area through scholarships for high school athletes and support for a new headquarters and community center in Walnut Hills.
