Feel the Burn 5K & 10K 2026

The Feel the Burn 5K & 10K is an evening road race benefiting the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department. Both the 5K and 10K races begin at 6:00 PM, with check-in available from 4:30 PM. Participants can select a USATF-certified 5K or a 10K. The event supports a fire department that relies solely on volunteers. The 10K course consists of running the 5K route twice. Awards are presented to the top two male and female finishers in each race within age categories ranging from under 14 to 60 and over. This structure accommodates participants of all ages, not just elite runners. Runners registering by the early deadline will receive a shirt, and early registration offers reduced fees for both distances.
