Whitman College Virtual 5K

RUN/WALK FOR THE TRENTON AREA SOUP KITCHEN
The Whitman College 5K run/walk is the inaugural race for charity fundraiser hosted by Whitman College at Princeton University. The Whitman 5K directly donates all proceeds to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (T.A.S.K.). Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Whitman 5K will be held virtually. We welcome runners of all ages and levels to participate in this fun and meaningful event. 

The registration fee is free but we ask that you consider a $5 donation to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen ( TASK(). Participants will receive a t-shirt after they have participated in the event. Additionally, the top three finishers for both men and women will receive prizes. 

If you're interested in receiving a prize for finishing in the top 3, please send a photo of your recorded time (via any means, Garmin, Mapmyrun, Strava, or other smartphone apps.) to whitmanatprinceton@gmail.com As we want as many people to participate as possible, if the cost of the event might keep you from participating, please email us at whitmanatprinceton@gmail.com
