The Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati has introduced a new tradition called "Blue Jeans Friday" to promote mental health awareness, coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Month in May. This initiative, supported by the Cincinnati-based company Cintas, encourages participants to wear blue jeans during the marathon weekend to show solidarity and raise awareness about mental health. The event also features a "Blue Jeans Friday" tent where attendees can access mental health resources and support. This new tradition aims to foster open conversations about mental health and provide necessary resources to the community, highlighting the importance of mental well-being alongside physical fitness.
