Fifth Street Rock Monster

The Technical Tango

Sunday, April 12, 2026

Forever Farm | Mertztown, PA

Welcome to the Fifth Street Rock Monster (formerly known as Rockland Rad Run). 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: We fixed it. No more confusing "figure 8." Continuous loops. Simpler navigation. Same suffering.

The Distances: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon.

The "Two-Headed" Relay: Teams of three. Two runners on course at the same time. This isn't a solo sufferfest. It's a squad mission. MONEY IS ON THE LINE!

Learn More About the Two-Headed Relay

Schedule & Saturday Scouting

    For nearly five decades, the Emmaus 4-Mile Classic has been one of the Lehigh Valley's most enduring races along with the oldest continuously run event of its kind in the region. On Sunday, April 12, 2026, runners will once again gather at Emmaus High School to take on the four-mile course that winds through our quiet neighborhoods and celebrates everything that makes Emmaus special.

    This year, the Emmaus Community Foundation (ECF) is proud to carry the race forward after taking over stewardship from the Lehigh Valley Road Runners. The goal isn't to reinvent the Classic. It's to protect what makes it meaningful while strengthening the community connections behind it.

    Mission: At ECF, our mission is simple yet ambitious:

    Enhancing the natural beauty and quality of life in Emmaus by encouraging philanthropy to fund high-impact initiatives that further develop optimal community living

    The 4-Mile Classic fits that mission perfectly. It's a celebration of fitness, family, and local pride. ECF would also like to make it a platform for giving back. Proceeds from the event help ECF support projects that keep Emmaus beautiful, vibrant, and connected.
