About the Course
You run at the Emmaus Compost Center (it’s not a dump!) between the tape of the cyclocross course. The bike race started in 2005, even though you’ve never heard of it. But here you are reading this, so now you’ve heard of it, so let’s get to business. The course is twisty and turny and usually a lot slower than most people think any reasonable running course should be. For this reason, we believe it to be the best cross country race course in the history of Emmaus. You’re welcome.
What You Get Every Week
Free Beer! 2 per person limit. Food Truck slingin' meals. Free race photos. The best underground party in the Lehigh Valley.

But wait, there's more. Fifth Street Cross began as a cyclocross bike race series, and you can also participate in bike racing. You can register here to run the 5k and then race your bike! Scoring for the run/ride will be based on your place in the run and first bike race (4x laps) only.
---Do you want to just race bikes?---
The first bike race is 4x laps and starts at 6:30pm. We take a break between each race to check your lights or figure out why you came here in the first place. The second race is three laps in the opposite direction. We keep score, but as long as you start the race, you’re winning!

The run race is insured under USATF and we thank them for their cheap insurance.
