About the Tiger Trot for Hunger 5k Run & Walk
The course runs through Princeton University's campus, starting outside a gym and fitness center. It benefits a local non-profit focused on food, housing, and job support for people in the area, and donations of food or money are welcome alongside registration. There is no entry fee, and the event draws teams as well as solo participants.
Packet pickup happens at the fitness center on the two days before the race, during afternoon and evening hours. Bib pickup is required for in-person participation.

The Tiger Trot for Hunger 5k Run & Walk has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 10, 2026.
