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

    The September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance is thrilled to announce the Rodale Park 12 Hour Challenge at the Bob Rodale Cycling & Fitness Park in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania.

    Join the Alliance on Saturday, June 27th, for a unique endurance event supporting the mission of the 9/11 National Memorial Trail Alliance. Participants are invited to challenge themselves by cycling, running, jogging, or walking laps on a beautiful, fully paved course in Rodale Park.

    The event will run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on a 2-mile loop, 20 feet wide, offering a safe, scenic experience with a mix of sun and shade. The course will be clearly coned off to provide separate sections for cyclists and for runners, joggers, and walkers.

    Whether you complete a single lap or push for a personal best over 12 hours, participants may stop at any time to relax and refuel at the “Pit Stop” pavilion, where snacks, fluids, and lunch will be provided throughout the day. A dedicated 9/11 National Memorial Trail Alliance canopy will be on site to answer questions, share information, register Cycling Challenge participants, and track mileage accomplishments.

    All proceeds will support the ongoing development and promotion of the September 11th National Memorial Trail, which connects the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania, and the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia through a 1,500-mile multi-use trail.

    Come ride, run, or walk with purpose—finish one lap or go the distance—and honor the heroes of September 11, 2001.
