2019 RCGC Flying Pig Updates

Here are a couple of updates about the Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati's involvement in the 21st Annual Flying Pig Marathon. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

• Club Fluid Station - The Club has a Flying Pig Fluid Station at mile 22. This is one of our largest volunteer opportunities of the year. We need about 40 volunteers; so please volunteer today. Volunteers receive a free t-shirt courtesy of the pig, free food and drink at the waterstop, the chance to socialize with other members in a relaxed informal setting, and the free entertainment value of watching the Mile 22 Fluid Station Captain freak out over what could happen in 2018. The 2008 waterstop dealt with fire, 2009 dealt with no uplifting music(Social Distortion is the last thing you want to hear at mile 22) until the marathon unexpectedly came through with the DJ, 2010 dealt with rain and flooding, 2011 dealt with being struck by lightning. If you're running the full marathon, ask family, friends and coworkers to catch you at "Your water stop - Mile 22" or if you enjoy to watch people suffer, mile 22 is definitely the place to be. You can sign up to volunteer at our website and scroll to the bottom or do the following:
  1. Go to the Flying Pig Volunteer Registration Page.
  2. Enter runnersclub as the group password when asked near the end of the form.
  3. Fill out the information.

• Booth at the Flying Pig Expo - RRCA, The club's parent organization has a booth at the 2019 Flying Pig Expo which is on Friday May 3, and Saturday May 4. The booth is located in the center of the action. Working the booth is quite easy. You just tell people about the RRCA, hand out club info, promote the Memorial Day Race, and answer any other questions that they may have about the club or RRCA.  If you can help out, let Samantha Colmar know via Facebook.
