The Queen Bee Half Marathon is on a mission: to promote the fun of fitness while raising support and funds for local charities that focus on women. Race weekend will include plenty of pampering, swag, and fun — lots of which you’ll find at the Bee-YOU-Tique expo on Oct 6. Cincy Chic is actually styling the fashion shows throughout the day, so don’t miss those at 1, 3 and 6pm!

Then Oct 7 is the big race day! The course goes through some of Cincinnati’s historic and scenic neighborhoods and along the way you’ll be entertained by dozens of bands and DJs and refreshment zones that will ‘bee’ unique to the event.

When you cross the finish line you’ll enjoy special swag, chocolates, massages, the one of a kind Queen Bee medal and an incredible after party!

And what I love about it is that women of all abilities and fitness levels do the Queen Bee. Not quite feeling up to the whole 13.1 miles? No problem. Buzz through Saturday’s 4-mile event through Downtown Cincinnati instead.  You’ll be done in time to meet your half marathoners at the finish.
