OCTOBER 13th, 2024

Asha Princeton is gearing up for an electrifying twist on the classic In-person/Virtual Walk/Run event!

In light of COVID, we pioneered the virtual run concept and are thrilled to continue the trend. However, your physical presence makes all the difference. Picture this: a vibrant gathering at the tranquil North Brunswick Community Park. For those preferring a more secluded experience, join us virtually from your own neighborhood or anywhere worldwide! And hey, why not have the best of both worlds? Register now to take part in-person and virtually, if you’re up for the adventure!

It’s fantastic if you’re vaccinated! For those who aren’t vaccinated or feeling unwell, you’re welcome to join the event while wearing a mask.

Get ready for a post-race treat with light refreshments at the finish line of our in-person event! Spread the excitement and rally more supporters to join us. We highly recommend pre-registering using the links below for a seamless experience. Plus, every penny goes towards supporting Asha for Education, Princeton Chapter!

Asha for Education is a volunteer-powered, non-profit organization that operates without a hierarchy. We firmly believe in the transformative power of education for socio-economic change. Since our inception in 1991, we have raised over $22 million and supported more than 800 projects, positively impacting thousands of underprivileged children in India.

Get ready to push your limits and run with passion for the Asha for Education, Princeton Chapter! Challenge yourself and be a part of something incredible!

Please challenge yourself and run this for Asha for Education, Princeton Chapter!!!
