CINCINNATI (WLWT) — Some people have unique ways they run the Flying Pig Marathon. That’s exactly the case for one runner Sunday.
Wyatt Moss, native of Atlanta, Georgia, was seen by many spectators during the 28th running of the Flying Pig running while eating a rack of ribs.
Having already run 15 marathons this year, in the year Moss has dubbed “The Year of the Marathon,” he’s hoping to inspire others to start their own journey’s, whatever that may be.
“The goal of the videos I put out on Instagram, and eating a rack of ribs during the marathon, one is to encourage people that there’s no time. You don’t have to do sub-three hours to run a marathon. You can just go out there and have fun,” Moss explained.
“But on the other end of the spectrum, to take on ‘their marathon,'” he continued, saying that could be anything from starting a business to getting a degree or getting a new job.
Sunday was Moss’ 80th lifetime marathon, with his first being run in 2023.
“This is the year to take action on that dream.”
As for why he opted for ribs?
“This is the Flying Pig Marathon. Cincinnati? Barbeque ribs!” Moss explained. “It’s great fuel!”
As good as fuel as he claims it is, Moss did admit that the ribs have slowed him down, “1,000%.”
