Jogging Routes at Princeton

While there are an infinite number of jogging routes throughout the campus area, the purpose of this information is to outline specific routes of varying length.  This group of routes will provide a basis from which individual alterations and changes can easily be made.

When Jogging, Remember...

1. Run in proper running shoes - tennis shoes promote blistering.
2. Stretch out well before and after each run.
3. Always run against traffic when running along a road.
4. Jog at your own pace - not someone else's.
