QUEEN CITY 5K
July 26, 2025 - The Queen City 5K showcased its 10th year of support for education as hundreds gathered next to Paycor Stadium to share the mission of QCF. The record setting participation of runners and walkers was an inspiration to the QCF scholars on hand to distribute waters and medals at the finish line.
