About the Queen City Half Marathon

The half marathon and the shorter race both move through Marquette's neighborhoods and along the Lake Superior shoreline. The lake is the constant backdrop, and the course has a reputation for being quick underfoot. Aid stations are staffed with real enthusiasm, and the finish area draws a crowd that sticks around.
