The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon

The Cincinnati Flying Pig Kids’ 26th Mile Run Opportunity

Does your child want to be part of the Flying Pig Marathon? The Wednesday Symmes Steppers Team has linked up with the Cincinnati Flying Pig Kids’ Marathon! Symmes students can run in the 26th mile run (a one mile walk/run) at the Flying Pig Marathon in downtown Cincinnati on Saturday, May 2nd at noon. Any Symmes student who is interested in running with the Symmes Elementary group can sign up online at www.flyingpigmarathon.com by THIS SATURDAY, April 18!!! Cost is $10 per participant which includes a t-shirt, race bib, poster, medal, and postrace goodies at the finish line. Parents or guardians are highly encouraged to join their child in the race. While ideally, participants would have logged a total of 25 miles worth of running or walking over the weeks prior to the race day, given the late registration, that is not a requirement. Any miles walked or run can be documented in a Hog Log. Note that Symmes Steppers resumes this Wednesday, April 15. What’s a Hog Log? The Hog Log program allows kids to track their mileage for up to 25 miles, and then run their final mile on a course that is part of the Flying Pig Marathon downtown. The program also encourages healthy eating, hydration, and keeping your brain fit with reading. Hog Logs are available online at www.flyingpigmarathon.com or during Symmes Steppers (while supplies last).
