Bee Yourself

The Queen Bee Half Marathon’s 10th anniversary is the perfect occasion for Abdi Abdirahman, described by The New York Times as the “the longtime bon vivant of American distance running,” to visit Cincinnati.

Abdirahman and his partner Diane Nukuri, who both elite distance runners and former Olympians, will be in town to celebrate the Queen Bee Half and the incredible accomplishments of all the runners.

For the past decade, the Queen Bee Half has been on a mission to promote the fun of fitness while raising support and funds for local charities that focus on women. Race weekend is always a party, but this year the celebration will be even bigger.

The race is Saturday, Oct. 14, starting at 7:30 a.m., with a huge afterparty at Sawyer Point. The Bee-u-tique Expo will be held at the Duke Energy Convention Center on Friday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Find more details at flyingpigmarathon.com.
