The YWCA Princeton will host the Ninth Annual ETS Firecracker 5K Run/Walk on Tuesday June 25 at 7:30 p.m. The race is run on a USATF-certified course and a USATF-NJ Grand Prix event worth 500 points. CompuScore results will be available online or mailed upon request. Participants will enjoy a slightly hilly course on the ETS grounds with water stops along the way.
First, second, and third place medals will be awarded to winners in age group categories in five-year increments through 80+. Winning corporate and organizational teams will receive special recognition in the post-race award ceremony. Participants who register early will receive T-shirts and towels while they last. Non-race activities include music, refreshments, raffles, and family activities.
Proceeds from the event support YWCA Princeton’s Bilingual Nursery School. The goal of this program is to provide non-English speaking preschool children the tools they need to enter school on par with their English-speaking peers.
