2026 Queen Bee Half Marathon

The Queen Bee Half Marathon is a women’s half marathon in Cincinnati, Ohio, run in October with a 7:30 AM EDT start. It is organized by Cincinnati Marathon, Inc., and the race pitch is simple: make fitness feel fun while giving runners a weekend built around the half-marathon distance. The public race listing does not give a turn-by-turn course description, so the firm course detail is that runners cover 13.1 miles in Cincinnati. The weekend adds pampering, swag, and a girls’ weekend feel, while fundraising supports women-focused local charities and groups including Girls on the Run Cincinnati, Pink Ribbon Good, Young Women LEAD, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cancer Family Care, and the American Cancer Society.
