Princeton Battlefield 5K

Sunday, September 6th

9:30am Race Starts

(Race Day Registration begins at 8:30am)

Runners, history buffs, and families will come together on September 6, 2026, for the Princeton Battlefield 5K. Part of the RevolutionNJ Race Series, the event begins at 9:30 a.m. and offers a unique way to engage with New Jersey’s Revolutionary War history.

The RevolutionNJ Race Series draws inspiration from Jonas Cattell’s legendary run to warn American troops of a British attack at Red Bank Battlefield. This race is one of six in the series, with additional events planned at Cedar Bridge Tavern, Red Bank Battlefield, Fort Lee Historic Park, Monmouth Battlefield and Batsto Village.

Whether running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, participants will experience a race that blends fitness, history, and community celebration. The event offers an interactive way to honor the region's past.

This event honors the memory of Helene Cody, who passed away from a brain aneurysm on her 16th birthday in 2008. Helene had planned to revive the Cranbury Day 5K that had been previously discontinued as a way to combine her love of distance running and community service. Her classmate hosted the first Helene Cody Cranbury 5K after her passing in 2008, and ever since, the Helene Cody Foundation has used the race to bring the community together and fund youth service projects and scholarships.

T-shirts are guaranteed to those who register by August 6th! T-shirts will be given to registrants while supplies last for those who register after August 6th.

Packet pickup nights are held on Wednesday, September 3rd at Fleet Feet Princeton from 5-7 PM and Thursday, September 4th at the Cranbury branch of Princeton Soup and Sandwich Company from 4-6 PM. Those who have preregistered may pick up their T-shirt and race bib at this event to avoid the lines on race day.

Race day packet pickup is from 7:30-8:00 AM for the 1 Mile, and from 7:30-8:30 AM for the 5K at Heritage Park.

All proceeds go to the Helene Cody Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity with the mission of inspiring youth to volunteer, to better their communities and themselves. Your donations will support youth-led projects benefiting Central NJ.
