Before all the courses of your Thanksgiving dinner tackle a course through downtown Cincinnati.

Pig Works has joined with FC Cincinnati as race managers for 116th edition of the Western & Southern Thanksgiving Day Race.

This year’s courses are measured and certified for their respective distances and feature a new split point sponsored by Journey Advisory Group. The two courses will split at Reading and Eggleston by the Hard Rock Casino. The 10K will have two water stops this year, and the 5K will have one. The courses will merge on Linn Street just before the final turn to the finish line.

For the ProAmpac Kids Fun Run, youngsters participating will start in waves, by their age group. The kids run goes from the start line north on Central Parkway, then will turn around and head back to the start.

Also, for the first time in The Western & Southern Thanksgiving Day Race’s history, all participants will receive a Finisher’s Medal! Participants can register now to secure this commemorative item, which will represent the memories made and the accomplishments achieved on this special day. 

Pig Works staff are partnering with FC Cincinnati staff to handle race operations this year. Pig Works is the umbrella organization of the Flying Pig Marathon, Queen Bee Half Marathon and many other iconic Cincinnati events.
