CINCINNATI -- WCPO staffers were among the thousands of runners competing in this weekend's Flying Pig events.
Sara Habedank, partnership coordinator for WCPO Insider, took on the Skyline 3-Way Challenge: That meant running a 5k and 10k Saturday, then the half-marathon Sunday:
Good Morning Tri-State anchor Chris Riva also ran in the half-marathon Sunday:

Kenya Brock, director of partner development, said she was a "hot, sweaty mess" after Saturday's 10k, but ran a personal record at 1:01:14!
WCPO digital community manager Libby Cunningham ran her third Flying Pig half-marathon:

Management cheered from the sidelines this year. We'll cut WCPO.com editor in chief Mike Canan a little slack -- he's coming off a PR at the Boston Marathon:
