Bring your running shoes AND your bike this time!
Join us at Wayne Grube Memorial Park in Northampton, PA for an off-road course that mixes grass, dirt, and park trails into a true cross-country layout. It’s fast, varied, and designed to work just as well on foot as it does on a bike. Like Fifth Street Cross in the fall, the run will be two laps each week, with the course direction alternating from week to week to keep things fresh. The ride will be a five-lap cyclocross-style race on the same course. Any bike, any fitness, anyone! Because racing starts at 7pm, lights are required for all riders. One entry gets you access to run, ride, or both for just $20. Show up for one, or double up and make a night of it.
There will be weekly, onsite registration available. Cash, CC, Venmo will be accepted. *Juniors (up to 16) race for $10 per race
Parking is available onsite, and we encourage carpooling. Bring all your friends!
We will be firing up the park grills and throwing a variety of grillable items for all to enjoy. Adult beverages will also be provided. All beer is complimentary to 21+ participants.
Sign up for the full series and receive a super sick new FSX - Runspringa hat!
Points & Awards
The top 15 finishers each week will score points, which will add up week after week. Bonus points for inclement weather (must be raining or snowing or what-have-you at the start of the race). As is tradition, #fifthisfirst. The runner/ rider in 5th place for each series, run, ride, or double cross at the end of the final race will be crowned the overall winner. There are separate podiums and scoring for the Overall and Women.
We will hold an after-party award ceremony after the race on April 9th. The presentation of the season winners for the will take place here. We'll do it as quickly as possible so you can all enjoy the after party vibes for the night.
