About this race
Come Together. Run or Ride. Bring the Vibes.
Bring your running shoes and your bike.
The Course
Join us at Wayne A. Grube Memorial Park in Northampton, PA for an off-road course mixing grass, dirt, and park trails into a true cross-country layout.
Fast. Varied. 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 starting at 6pm, with the course direction alternating weekly to keep things fresh.
The ride is a five-lap cyclocross-style race on the same course starting at 7pm. Bring your lights.
Any bike. Any fitness. Anyone. One entry gets you run, ride, or both for just $20.
Show up for one — or double up and make a night of it.
Registration
Weekly on-site registration is available. Cash, credit card, and Venmo accepted.
Juniors up to age 16 race for $10 per race thanks to Blink Optical Boutique.

Points & Awards
Each week everyone earns points. Some weeks include bonus points. Double points awarded for inclement weather — rain, snow, or otherwise rough at the start.
As is tradition, #fifthisfirst. The runner or rider finishing in fifth place in each series at the final race will be crowned overall winner.
Separate podiums and scoring for Overall and Women.
Season awards and after-party celebration take place April 29th. We’ll move quickly so everyone can enjoy the vibes.
