The Kings & Queens Half Marathon first took place in 2013 under a different name, the Women’s Run Pewaukee Half Marathon. The event was tailored as a women only running event that was hosted on mothers day weekend. Ladies got a rose when they crossed the finish line (a tradition we still do today). The first running of the event had just under 200 finishers. After two years of having a women’s only event, we decided to rebrand the race and allow the guys to join the fun. Although the name had changed, we wanted to stay true to our initial goal of creating a unique race experience that was uplifting and supportive of EVERY participant no matter their skill level or experience. The first place runner gets the same attention as the last place runner.

Not, in 2019 we look to have over 750 runners racing the half marathon and 4 mile event. We love the “home grown” feel this event offers and will always cherish the small size of the race. This is a great first race for anyone with multiple aid stations on course, lots of runners support and a relaxed, yet professionally organized event.

We look forward to having you race with us! You can expect a laid back, fun and supportive race experience when you come to the Kings & Queens Half Marathon.
