About the race

Fifth Street Rock Monster The Technical Tango Sunday, April 11, 2027 Forever 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!  Learn More About the Ultra Rock Relay Schedule & Saturday Scouting Saturday, April 10: Rock Monster MTB races (9am-3pm). Heckle cyclists. Scout lines. Join the party. Camping: FREE camping Saturday night at Forever Farm. Camping is boondocking - no electric or water hookups. Generators must be off by 10pm (no overnight gas generators permitted). Survive the pre-race campfire hydration, and you're golden. Sunday, April 11 (Race Day): Check-in: 6:00 AM Racing Starts: 7:00 AM After Party: When the first finisher hits and ends when fuel (or Bright Path Brewing beer) runs out.

Hydration: Fully stocked aid stations on course. Beer: Bright Path Brewing beers available on site! All runners (21+) get one complimentary beer post-race. Additional cans are $5, and 6-packs are available to go.  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.  Relay Cash: $250 / $150 / $75 Finisher Award: Medals for those who make it to the finish line!
