Fifth Street Rock Monster

The Technical Tango

Sunday, April 11, 2027Forever Farm | Mertztown, PA

Welcome to the Fifth Street Rock Monster. We’re throwing a spring awakening at Forever Farm. A slice of private singletrack heaven normally guarded by gates and "No Trespassing" signs. This is the only weekend of the year you’re allowed on these trails without a court date.
It’s technical, it’s rugged, and nature will likely try to trip you. But hey, we’ll have a beer waiting at the end.

The Details (Pay Attention)

The Vibe: High-energy singletrack, questionable jokes, fly tunes, and fresh food.
The Course:  Continuous loops. Simple navigation. Same suffering.
The Distances: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Ultra Rock Relay (100k cumulative distance) 
The "Ultra Rock" Relay: Teams of three. Two runners on course at the same time. 100k cumulative distance. This isn't a solo sufferfest. It's a squad mission. MONEY IS ON THE LINE!

Prizes & Glory

Overall: Top 3 Overall/F/NB in each solo distance win awards. Per our Fifth Street protocols, we award an OVERALL podium, not just the men's podium. Fast ladies can get recognized twice - once on the overall and again on the women's podium. Non-binary individuals are eligible for the Overall podium or the women's podium if that is how they have pre-registered. If we have 10 or more non-binary participants who identify as competing equally against each other, we can host an NB podium.

Finisher Award: Medals for those who make it to the finish line!
