PigAbilities is a movement for inclusion that supports our families and friends who live with disabilities. Our one-mile event is designed for participants (and supporters of participants) to run, walk, or roll at their own pace so they can cross the official Flying Pig Marathon Finish Swine.

​
Where do we go for the PigAbilities Start?
The race will start at 12pm (noon) at the corner of Freedom Way and Elm Street, near the East Side of Paycor Stadium. There will be another youth event using the same Start Line at 11am, but the East Plaza Level will be available for participants who arrive early. The packet pick up tent for PigAbilities will be located on the East Plaza Level of the stadium (near Gate D) as well as other fun vendors.
Where should my family park?
There will be several events going on before and after PigAbilities as part of Flying Pig Weekend so please be aware of road closures. We have 2 suggestions for parking and arrival.
1. (10:30am-12p) Drop off on Central Ave, just south of W Pete Rose Way, on the west side of Paycor Stadium. Drop off participant(s) for golf cart ride to the start line, then park in nearby lots – Lot A, Lot 1 or Central Riverfront Garage.
2. (10:30am-12p) Park in Central Riverfront Garage: For convenience, it’s important you enter through the entrance on Race St. (182 Race St). Volunteers will be available to assist with directions to the start line & elevators once inside the garage. We recommend using the WAZE app to navigate real time road closures for our events.
Can a family member or friend run/walk with a PigAbilities participant?
To ensure the utmost safety and security for all participants, spectators, staff, volunteers and officials, we ask that all people on any Flying Pig course be an officially registered participant, or an official volunteer. If your athlete is not part of an organized group with chaperones, you can register to participate with them.
Participants can register online through May 1st, or at the expo on May 3rd, pending the event is not sold out. GUIDE bibs are also available, but guides do not receive a shirt, bag or medal. Be sure to fill out race day contact information on the back of each athlete’s race bib.
Where is the finish line and where do the athletes exit?
The secure “Finish Swine” is located on Mehring way just west of the blue Roebling Suspension Bridge. Once athletes complete the event, they will receive their medal, water and recovery snacks. We welcome all athletes and their families to celebrate at our post-race party located in Smale Riverfront Park just outside the recovery area. Athletes will also be able to leave directly from recovery to Central Riverfront Garage. Volunteers will be on-site for directional assistance to the garage.
How do I receive my zoo tickets?
An email will be sent post-event with the link to redeem your 3 zoo tickets.
