Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon
Cincinnati, United States of America · Sunday 20 June 2027
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon is a full marathon held in June 2026 on trail surfaces with moderately hilly terrain that will test your legs without being brutal. You'll face around 211 meters of elevation gain across the course, with the trail climbing between 145 and 249 meters above sea level, so this isn't a flat fast course but rather one that demands steady effort and good pacing discipline. Trail running adds technical difficulty beyond the standard road marathon, so make sure your training includes off-road work and appropriate footwear before race day. The Flying Pig organization appears to be a well-established event with community focus, though the scraped website content doesn't provide detailed course descriptions or logistics, so you'll want to visit their official site directly for specifics on aid stations, cutoff times, and what to expect from the actual trail conditions. If you thrive on hilly terrain and enjoy the challenge of technical trail running, this race offers a solid test of fitness and trail running ability.
