About the Giants Foundation 5K
The course starts in the MetLife Sports Complex, winds around the team's training facility, and finishes inside MetLife Stadium in the Giants end zone. That finish is the draw here: crossing the turf of an NFL stadium is not something most local races can offer, and the surroundings give the whole morning a distinctly football-shaped feel.
Packet pickup is available at MetLife Stadium the two days before the race, with race-morning pickup also possible. Spectators do not need tickets but go through a security check at the MetLife Gate. After finishing, everyone is welcome on the field for a post-race festival.
