About this race
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 2027 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 $100 for men (NEW record set in 2026!) and $200 for women (2025). Awards will be given at the 2027 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!
