Packet Pickup

Pre-Race Packet pickup will be held on Friday, September 19th, 2025.

We strongly encourage everyone to take advantage of the pre-race pickup so we can limit the chance of any delays to the start of the event. 

For those not able to make it on Friday, September 19th, race-day pickup will begin at 8:30 AM at the check-in area (the north-east corner of Pier A Park), and will promptly close @ 9:45am. 

 

Your "packet" will include your race bib, safety pins, and, if additionally ordered at check out, your 5k for Pizza race t-shirt.

*To limit our impact on the environment, Packet Pickup will be bagless.* 

Directions & Parking

The 5K events will start and finish at "Pier A Park" in Hoboken NJ. The check-in and festival area (i.e., packet pickup, pizza) will be on the north-east corner of the Pier.

🍕For drop off (Uber, Lyft, etc), you should utilize "100 Sinatra Dr, Hoboken, NJ 07030" as your GPS address. Though, be mindful that course roads will be closing around 9:00AM so it may be best to be dropped off a block or so away from the venue.
