Kids Run Comes to Princeton on Sunday

Feeling active this weekend?

The Community Connection of Princeton HealthCare will host its fourth annual Princeton Kids Marathon Race Day on Sunday, June 10 at Princeton University Stadium on Washington Road. 

Registration is still open. The kids race costs $15 and begins at 8 a.m. 

More than 500 children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade have signed up for the kids marathon and 230 people have registered for the 10k. 

Kids will be joined by former Giants players and Super Bowl champions Stephen Baker “The Touchdown Maker” and Bart Oats, a five-time Pro-Bowler.

The Princeton Kids Marathon is a 10-week training program in which kids walk, run or roll 2.5 miles a week at their own pace. They then gather on race day to complete the last 1.2 miles of the marathon together.

The marathon promotes health and fitness in children while engaging them in a fun activity that encourages a lifetime of physical activity and community involvement.

The event is also a fundraiser for the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro’s Outpatient Pediatric Clinic.

The race starts promptly at 8 a.m. and will be held rain or shine.
