The State of NJs ABC requires us to issue wristbands to participants who wish to enjoy a post-race adult (alcohol) beverage. Participants can obtain their wristbands after picking up their bib at the Hoboken beer distribution tent, which is located near the baseball back-stop. This can be done before or after the race.
