"Overall, a great marathon to run!" (about: 2000)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This was my first marathon I ran and didn't have much to compare it to until I ran another. Boy is the Pig a great marathon! The crowds are great and the volunteers were fab! I also like that the marathon is not too crowded like Chicago. I highly recommend this marathon. p.s. be prepared for some hills! | |

"Best ever for customer service to its runners." (about: 2000)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Of all the races and marathons I've done, this marathon was the best at being organized and giving wonderful support and customer service to its runners. The finish was exceptionally well organized and a fun place to hang out for the whole family. | |

"Down home fun!" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I used to live in Cincinnati but moved to D.C. before the Pig's debut in 99'. Despite the fact that I'm over 500 miles away now, I road-tripped back to Cinti for both runnings of the Pig and will continue to do so as long as my body will let me. It's incredibly well-organized and the crowds and water stops are great. I've also run the Marine Corps Marathon the past two years but prefer Cincinnati because of its more personal feel. See you in 2001...I'm already signed up! | |

"One of the Best" (General Comments)
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The 2nd Annual Flying Pig Marathon was my 122nd marathon, so I think I'm qualified to comment on this race! The Flying Pig was everything they promised and more. From the great goodies, including a very nice backpack with the Pig logo, to the expo with the Penguin and the marathon world record holder, to the wonderful police and citizens of Cincinnati, this race is tops. I enjoyed by first Flying Pig, as did my wife, who also ran. I only wish I had run the 1st race last year. Make the Flying Pig a MUST DO in 2001. | |

"The 1999 inaugural run was amazingly organized." (about: 1999)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 The Pig was my second marathon and I was very impressed with the organization of it. The course was a good overview of the city and surrounding areas but there were parts of it that went through more industrial parts which meant little to no spectators. On the other hand, some parts of the city, Hyde Park Square for example, were overflowing with people and signs and support. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience - so much so that I am doing it again this May. I would recommend this marathon to anyone - just be prepared for the hills. |
