The course

The Flying Pig Marathon starts and finishes in downtown Cincinnati, crossing the Ohio River into Northern Kentucky early (via Newport, and back over the Licking and Ohio rivers) before heading into Eden Park. The middle miles run east through East Walnut Hills, Hyde Park and out to Mariemont, then return west along the Ohio River Scenic Byway (Columbia Parkway/Eastern/Kellogg Avenues) to downtown. Cincinnati is a 'city of seven hills': the course is hilly, with the biggest climb (~300 ft) between miles 7-10 heading into Eden Park and a short steep climb in the final miles before the finish.
