Former NFL Players to Appear at Big Game 5K Run at Garden State Plaza Sunday

Take a 5K jog around the Garden State Plaza or a 1-mile walk inside the mall.

The Super Bowl is around the corner and before the Lombardi Trophy makes the 27-mile drive from Tiffany & Co. in Parsippany to MetLife Stadium, you’ve got a chance to run a 5k around the Garden State Plaza.

The Big Game 5K “One Run, Many Lives Touched” is set to begin at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning. Prospective participants can find registration information here.

A 1-mile walk inside the mall is also scheduled along with a 5k walk outside with the runners.
