On 9 November 2025, the HiTOPS Princeton Half Marathon returns, beginning at 7:00 AM at Paul Robeson Place in downtown Princeton. The race (USATF certified, part of the NJ Grand Prix) traverses scenic streets, neighborhoods, Princeton University campus grounds, the Institute for Advanced Study, the Princeton Battlefield, and sections near Lake Carnegie. Participants must maintain a minimum pace (max 13 min/mile), and those falling behind are diverted off the main course for safety. The event also offers a virtual half marathon (to be completed between 9–23 November) and a Youth Run option. Proceeds and fundraising support HiTOPS, a nonprofit providing inclusive sex education and support to youth in New Jersey.
