If you're planning to catch a friend running the Flying Pig Marathon or want to know how your coworker did in that 10K they've been training for, there are a few ways to track them.
In addition to the official race tracking, there are several ways to pinpoint where a runner or walker is on the route.

2026 Flying Pig Full Marathon course
The race offers participant tracking through the PigWorks app for the marathon, half-marathon, relays, 10K and 5K races.
The app estimates the participant's finish time based on the estimate given at registration. It will update that time and send notifications at certain points on the course:
- Marathon: Start line, miles 6.38, 11.74, 13.1, 19.9, 25.2, and the finish line.
- Half marathon: Start line, mile 6.38 and the finish line.
- 10K: Start and finish lines.
- 5K: Start and finish lines.
Participants can also be tracked live, within a few meters, through the app if they have the GPS feature enabled on their phones. But some participants told The Enquirer that has lagged behind a little in past years.
