Queen City Half Marathon | BREAKWATER 5K Run/Walk

Marquette - The coolest city just about anywhere!

With a fast and scenic course, chip-timed results and near-award winning shirt and medal design, the 2026 Queen City Half Marathon presented by Embers Credit Union | BREAKWATER 5K presented by Ore Dock Brewing Co., are races that need to be on your summer calendar!

Marquette, as you know, is one of the coolest cities anywhere, and we're going to show it off, running though some amazing neighborhoods and along Lake Superior. EPIC is the word I'm looking for...with super-fun aid stations, a post race 'party-zone'...and race-specific finisher medals for ALL entrants.

Let's not forget about our Breakwater 5K Run/Walk COURSE RECORD REWARD. Win the race, set a new Course Record, and we'll hand you CASH! We'll increase this $100 every year until it's broken, then we'll start over. The BONUS right now sits at $500 for men (2021) and $100 for women (NEW record set in 2025!). Awards will be given at the 2025 BREAKWATER 5K Run/Walk awards ceremony! Wanna run fast?

A community race, a family race...heck, bring the stroller along with the kids...it's going to be a party!

Join fellow runners on July 25, 2026 for the Queen City Half Marathon | BREAKWATER 5K Run/Walk. It's a fantastic Half-Marathon, 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Marquette.
