FAQ

 

What races are being offered this year?
We are offering three different races: the 5K, the Fun Run/Walk, and the Virtual 5K. 

What times does each in-person race start?
The 5K will begin at 9:00 am and the Fun Run/Walk will begin immediately after the 5K. 

Where are the in-person races being held?
Both races begin and end in front of the Eden School, 2 Merwick Road, Princeton. 

What is the difference between the 5K and the Fun Run/Walk?
The 5K is a timed 3.1-mile course. The Fun Run/Walk is held on a separate course that is approximately 1 mile and not timed.


Is the in-person Fun Run/Walk timed?

No, individuals who run or walk the Fun Run/Walk will not be timed. If you'd like to receive an official race result, please register for the in-person 5K.

Can I register the day of the race?
Yes! There will be a same-day registration tent for individuals to register on the morning of the race.

Can I walk the 5K?
Yes! You can walk the 5K course. We only ask that walkers who are participating in the in-person race finish the 3.1-mile course in under an hour. 

Will there be awards for the 5K?
Yes! Awards will be given to the top 3 overall male and female runners and the top 3 male and female runners in 10-year age categories, from 9 and under to 80 and over. Awards will also be given to the top 3 overall non-binary 5K finishers.

Can I bring my dog?
While we love our canine friends, dogs are NOT permitted at the in-person event.

What happens if it rains?
Our race is a rain-or-shine event! If there are dangerous weather conditions (such as thunder and lightning), we will share schedule changes and updates via email, social media, and our 5K race website.

Can I bring a stroller?
Yes! Families can run the 5K with jogging strollers. Families doing the Fun Run/Walk can bring strollers and wagons onto the course.
