About the Princeton Halloween Hustle
The course runs behind Princeton Elementary School, starting and finishing near the gym. It is a flat out-and-back route with a single water stop at the turnaround. The race benefits the school directly, funding student activities and staff programs. After the run, a mini carnival is set up for participants, and there is a Halloween costume contest for the Fun Run.
Packet pickup is available the day before at the school office, with two windows to choose from. Race-morning pickup opens at the start site before the gun goes off. Both distances start and finish in the same spot behind the school.
