YOUR RUN MATTERS
The HiTOPS Princeton Half is not only an awesome race, it is HiTOPS’ single largest fundraising event each year. Race proceeds and fundraising efforts go a long way to support the work we do with young people throughout New Jersey. Since its inception, the event has generated nearly $1.1 million dollars (net funds) for the organization. Every dollar raised and every registered participant matters.

THINKING GREEN
In 2025, the HiTOPS Princeton Half Marathon is excited to again partner with Trees Not Tees giving all participants the option to plant a tree in place of their event shirt.
All participants have also been invited to pledge to carry their own water reducing the amount of waste created race day.
Finally, all participants are encouraged to carpool to the race when possible.
Help us reach our fundraising goal!
