Fitzgeralds Lager Run Update (post-race libations):
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. Fitzgeralds volunteers will check IDs to ensure participants are of legal age to consume adult beverages. (No bib, no id, no wristband). This additional step is mandated by the State of NJ-ABC.
