From the organizers
MIDNIGHT TO 4:20.
Year six of the best-worst idea in the Lehigh Valley. On Black Friday, November 27, the Fifth Street Cross course opens at 12:00AM and closes at 4:20PM. Run it, ride it, or both. Solo or with your crew. Your only job is to finish the distance you picked before the clock hits 4:20.
Call it an active protest against buying dumb shit instead of being with your friends.
