The race.

The Ralph Swain Queen's Race for Love & Life takes place June 13, 2026, in Allison Park, PA, offering a 3.1-mile run and a 1-mile walk. The 5K features an out-and-back course starting and finishing near the North Park Boathouse, running primarily along Lake Shore Drive with mostly flat terrain and some rolling hills. The 1-mile walk follows the same route with identical start and finish points; walkers begin approximately five minutes after the 9:55 a.m. race start. Packet pickup and same-day registration open at 9 a.m. at the Boathouse. Awards go to the top three overall finishers by gender and top three in each gender across age groups from 0–9 through 80 and up. Post-race refreshments include oatmeal raisin cookies and additional food, plus a gift basket raffle.
