Sundown Rundown - Fifth Street Cross Edition 2026

The race.

The Sundown Rundown - Fifth Street Cross Edition is a 26.2-mile race held in Emmaus, PA on September 26, 2026. The course consists of repeated 1.6-mile laps run in alternating directions, with timed scoring and progressive time cutoffs that tighten each lap, beginning at 20 minutes for the first lap. Runners must start each lap at the designated time; those who fail to complete a lap before the next lap's start are eliminated and scored based on their relative placement. The venue offers covered areas for athlete setup, gravel parking outside the compost center, and grill food. Runners self-score on a provided scoreboard, and restroom access is available between laps without extending start times.
