Fifth Street Rock Monster

April 12, 2026
Mertztown, PA 19539 US
Rock Monster Ultra Relay

Three runners. Two always on course. Seven laps.
Strategy wins.

What This Actually Is

This isn’t a solo sufferfest. It’s a squad mission.

Build a team of three. Two runners are on course at all times. Rotate through a rugged 4.5-mile loop of rocks, roots, rolling terrain, and smooth singletrack. Recover in the exchange zone while your teammates battle the woods.

First team to complete all seven laps wins. Simple.

How It Works

• 4.5-mile loop
• 7 total laps (approximately 62 miles combined)
• Two runners must be on course at all times
• Each runner completes at least 2 laps
• One runner may skip one rotation
• First team across the final lap wins

That’s it. No spreadsheets required.

Why This Is Better Than Running Solo

You get ultra distance vibes without 62 lonely miles.

• Built-in recovery time between laps
• Centralized exchange zone energy
• Set up camp, chairs, coolers
• Cheer. Heckle. Hydrate. Repeat.
• Shared suffering > solo suffering

It’s part race, part strategy session, part woodland tailgate.

Who This Is For

• Run clubs
• Competitive friend groups
• Former college runners who still talk trash
• Mixed-ability teams
• People who want something different

If you’ve ever said “we should do something ridiculous together” THIS IS IT!
