Event Details

BLUE for Kids is organizing teams to Get Stuffed and Run for Kids in the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon Team Relay.  The marathon has made a mark being the third-largest first-time marathon in the country. The relay promises a beautiful course which starts outside of Paul Brown Stadium and "flies" along the streets of Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport.

• DATE: Sunday, May 4, 2008
• TIME: 6:30AM
• LOCATION: Paul Brown Stadium
• THE RACE: Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon Relay

Teams consist of four runners who complete the 26.2-mile course in a relay fashion while carrying Build-A-Bear Workshop® Curly Teddy Bears sporting bear-sized Major League Baseball team uniforms.  The teddy bears are a fun way to reinforce what the effort is all about.

The marathon relay is broken down into 4 legs in the following order:

1. leg 1 = 6.8 miles 
2. leg 2 = 5.2 miles
3. leg 3 = 7.3 miles
4. leg 4 = 6.9 miles

Team Fundraising Effort
The team fundraising goal is $1,200 or $300/per team member. If each team member secures the equivalent of 10 stuffed animal donations, you'll meet the minimum fundraising goal. IT’S EASY! 

Your team entry includes:

• Complimentary Team Registration* – Entry fee paid by BLUE for Kids.
• (4) Souvenir Build-A-Bear Workshop Curly Teddy Bears* - Team members run with their Curly Teddy Bears and then keep the furry friend as a souvenir.
• Great Race Gifts* - Commemorative marathon T-shirt, limited edition poster, goodie bag, and a "special gift."
• The Finishing Touch* - Relay finishers receive a finisher's medal, a mylar blanket, and Finish-area refreshments.
