Matchroom Fight Day 5K New York City

Join us for the Fight Day 5K in New York City on Saturday June 27th!

Ahead of a huge night of boxing at the Barclays Center, lace up and kick-start fight day alongside fans, fighters and the local community at the Fight Day 5K hosted by Matchroom Boxing and The Ground NYC, in collaboration with RunThrough USA.

Starting and finishing at The Ground in Manhattan, this inclusive, social 5K brings together boxing, running, football and community in the build-up to the world super welterweight unification showdown between Xander Zayas and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.

Open to all abilities, the event is all about good energy, movement and connection - whether you’re chasing a PB, jogging with friends or simply soaking up the atmosphere ahead of fight night.

Participants will take on a guided route through Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn before returning to The Ground for a morning of post-run entertainment, including FIFA World Cup themed football challenges, music, refreshments and giveaways.

Expect special guest appearances from fighters and personalities from the world of boxing - including Matchroom Chairman Eddie Hearn - alongside a crowd of runners, boxing fans and local communities coming together to celebrate one of the biggest sporting weekends in New York City for a long time. 

Every participant will receive an official Fight Day 5K t-shirt, with additional prizes and experiences available across the morning.

More than just a run, the Fight Day 5K is designed to create positive, inclusive and memorable experiences around major sporting events - using the power of boxing and movement to bring people together long before the first bell rings.
