Taking place on May 9, 2026, the event starts at 9:05 AM from 1050 Iron Pigs Way. Whether you're looking for a shorter warm-up effort or a longer morning workout, you'll find a distance suited to your training plan. The venue location provides a straightforward setup for packet pickup and post-race logistics. If you're traveling to Allentown for this event, you'll want accommodation within reasonable driving distance of the Iron Pigs Way start point. Book lodging close enough to arrive with time to spare before the 9:05 AM start, particularly if you're running one of the longer distances and want an unhurried pre-race routine.
