Proxy Packet Pickup is available this year during Pre-Race Pickup times! Here's what to do: 

•  INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGISTRANT:
  Provide your proxy with the following items:
  * Copy of your photo ID
  * Copy of your registration confirmation email 
  
  
• INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROXY:
  Please bring the following items when picking up a race packet on someone else’s behalf:
  * A copy of the registrant's photo ID (printout or image on your smartphone)
  * A copy of the registrant's confirmation email (printout or image on your smartphone)
  * Your own photo ID
  
  If you’re picking up a packet for a Youth registrant (under age 18), you don’t need to have their photo ID, just their confirmation email.

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 northeast 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.

🍕For those taking public transit (e.g., Path, Lightrail, etc), Pier A Park is a 1 or 2 minute walk north of the Hoboken Terminal.

🍕For those driving themselves or otherwise in need of parking for their driver / friends / family:

• Metered street parking is available on first come first serve basis. 
• Hoboken Municipal Garage B is the closest garage to the venue, and likely the most convenient parking solution; the address for this parking facility is 28 2nd street, Hoboken, NJ, 07030.

You are strongly encouraged not to bring bags to the race, but we will offer a bag check for $10 via exact cash or Venmo. Card readers will not be on site.

*5k for Pizza staff & volunteers are not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen bags or items from bags checked at 5k for Pizza bag check.*
