Princeton's first backwards Half Marathon!

You might've done a half marathon, but did you do one backwards? Didn't think so :)

Is it possible? Probably. I've done almost 2 miles walking backwards and then 22 miles afterwards without hurting. I'm 5'10 and ~ 165 lbs. We are not going for speed. We are going for completion

It will be very difficult, so view completing only 4 miles and walking the rest back forwards as a success rather than a failure. That's 4 miles more than you've ever done.

What to bring:

• UPF 50+ sun hoodie and pants
• hat to keep hood in place
• small backpack to hold a few water bottles.
• DO not bring just 1 water bottle unless it is really big (like 64 oz).

First Prong:
Route: Starting at the PHS track, We're going to walk from Guyot up Jefferson to Mt Lucas to Princeton Ave to a path that goes throught the park and end up by a couple of strip malls in Montgomery. This is 4-5 miles. We will walk back the same way but then go on Poor farm road to Bunn Drive to the Princeton

Amenities/nice features: All sidewalk. Most of Mt. Lucas road is very shady. There's a CVS about 3/4 of the way there to fill up water/use restroom. There's also a restroom/ water at the park near the Montgomery strip malls. We can eat at one of the restaurants in the strip malls. You can fill up water at the park on Bunn Drive. Princeton Shopping Center has food.

Second Prong: We will walk down Harrison to Nassau Street/around the University to finish up the remainder of the walk and then return to Princeton high school
