Love of the Pig is in the air. And on the course at Paxton Avenue in Hyde Park. Steal a kiss from the volunteers or maybe experience a wedding – cookie, that is.

Drop a line (or at least slow down) and snag a Swedish Fish at mile 11 of the half marathon and mile 14 of the full marathon.

“Orange” you lucky that The Flying Pig will provide fresh fruit slices for both the marathon and half marathon participants to enjoy?

Greased Pig Station

If you are feeling a little “irritated” at Mile 19, look for this station stocked with Sports Shield, petroleum jelly, sunscreen, band-aids, and more to provide relief for the final miles.

Hogwash Station

Being hot and sweaty at Mile 23 is just a bunch of Hogwash because Cintas and Greater Cincinnati Water Works provide a wash and dry run-thru station.

Well, shake it up, baby but don’t miss this station at mile 10 of the half marathon and mile 17 of the full marathon.

Pig Newton Station

Figs and Pigs – a perfect pair. Especially when served up at mile 24

Look for the red towels, thanks to Cintas, and a snack from FritoLay to

help you charge up a tiny incline before mile 25. Olé, it means bravo!
