Going Whole Hog

Are you running in the Flying Pig Marathon or one of the other races?

Do you have a kid or friend or dog running?

Do you like to have fun?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you’re in for a good time this weekend.

On Friday, the P&G Health & Fitness Expo opens at the Duke Energy Convention Center, from 12 to 7 p.m. The expo serves as packet pickup for in-person race participants. It is free and open to the public, hosting local and national vendors, from running groups and other marathons to Everything Cincy and Taste of Belgium. You’ll also find the Flying Pig Vintage Apparel booth, if you’re looking for gear from previous years. The expo is open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Saturday, don’t miss the the Family Fun Festival at Smale Riverfront Park (from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) with music and activities for the littlest runners in the Piglet.

The Michelob Ultra Victory Party will also be in Smale Riverfront Park (Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

The Victory Party is a great place for runners to reunite with family and friends and celebrate their accomplishments – whether they ran a 5K, a marathon, or the Flying Fur. Like any good party, you’ll find food and drinks available for purchase and live music all day long. On Sunday, that day’s race participants will receive a complimentary beer, thanks to Michelob Ultra. D
