6th ANNUAL DRAFT DAY 5K
Finish on the field at Giants Stadium!
SUPER BOWL CHAMPS   

NOTE: The 2008 Draft Day 5k course was compromised due to
the fact that one set of barricades securing the course within Giants Stadium was inadvertently removed shortly before the race. Most of the field ran off course at this point, approximately 1.6 miles into the race, and then back onto the course going in the wrong direction at what should have been a later point in the race. Most runners were then turned around to continue correctly along the course. However, in doing so most of the field (depending on their pace) ran various distances short of 5k. The average distance run was approximately 2.5 miles. Some may have run more, some less.
There is no way to know for sure who ran what distance. Competitive placing are hence impossible to determine.


If you have questions concerning the race please

THE EVENT

Let’s start with the ending… After running the very fast Draft Day 5K you will cross the finish line on the field at Giants Stadium. You will then join us for refreshments, our awards ceremony and a super prize drawing. A Giants great will be there to present the awards.  You'll register in the practice bubble.

Come run in an exciting environment, meet a Giant or two and do your own end zone strut. For our part, we’ll provide great food and drink, the fabulous Draft Day Tee and a lot of fun.

So what are you waiting for? Fill out the application and take the NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway to Giants Stadium. You can then stay to watch the draft on TV.
