Event Overview

The Big Run is a community running event held in Pennington to celebrate Global Running Day. Organized by Fleet Feet Princeton and presented by Brooks, this event commemorates five decades of running history. The gathering takes place at Rosedale Park and features a relaxed atmosphere focused on shared experiences and physical activity.

Participants can choose from the following event distances:

  • 3.1 Miles (5K)
  • 0.5 Mile (Kids Dash)

Registered participants in the 5K race receive a medal, a t-shirt, and various items provided by national and local sponsors. The Kids Dash is a free, family-oriented activity where parents are encouraged to run alongside their children. All participants in the shorter youth run also receive a medal.
