175 YEARS. STILL SHOWING UP.
Before the starting line, before the finish medals, before the crowds, the Y was already here, building community in Greater Cincinnati. The Flying Pig Marathon celebrates what this community can do. At the Y, we help build it, every day of the year.
For decades, we’ve been where people begin their first mile, their first class, their first sense of belonging. As the race grew, the city grew. We’ve been here through it all.
