Though not typically the premier race of Flying Pig Weekend, the Queen City Running 5K has the most on the line for a pair of Bengals.
Ted Karras and Dalton Risner, offensive linemen for the Cincinnati Bengals, will have a friendly competition as both big men run the 2026 5K.
After Risner's offseason training went viral, thanks to social media posts from his wife, Whitney, Karras challenged him to race the 5K. Karras suggested the loser buys dinner for the victor, but eventually upped the ante to a $3,100 donation to charity - $1,000 for each mile of the race.
Risner, in his second season with the Bengals, said he didn't know how big a deal the Flying Pig Marathon was before coming to Cincinnati, but was excited to participate in the event.
"For a good cause, of course, I'll come running," Risner said. "It was a no-brainer. I'd never run 3.1 miles, so I wasn't overly thrilled about that, but when he (Karras) said it was going to these organizations that were making a difference, that's what made it a no-brainer."
Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras addressed the crowd before the 2025 PigAbilities race. He and teammate Dalton Risner are running in the 2026 Queen City Running 5K to support The Cincy Hat charity.
