Cincinnati Enquirer: UC students win Flying Pig races

University of Cincinnati students won championships in the 2024 Flying Pig Marathon, including the women's marathon and men's and women's half marathons, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

Jonathan Harley, a graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences and a second-year student in the College of Medicine, won the men's half marathon in 1:10.40. He also competed for the Bearcats' cross country and track and field teams.

“I didn't know exactly what to expect,” Harley said. “I just had to trust my training and trust that all the work that I put in was gonna pay off. I knew the half marathon was going to be tough. I'm super thankful for my friends, family and teammates here at Cincinnatus Elite.

“This experience is just phenomenal. Cincinnati brings so much energy. Running on Seventh Street, the spectators were hyping me up. It's been a great weekend.”

The Flying Pig, whose course travels through Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, was ranked No. 1 in USA Today’s 10 Best list of top-rated marathons.
