Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ

The Lehigh Valley sits where three rivers—the Lehigh, Delaware, and Schuylkill—converge, creating rolling terrain that separates flat industrial areas from forested hills. Runners gravitate toward the Great Peace Valley 5 Miler and the Rodale Park 12 Hour Challenge, while cyclists hit the PGV Barns and Beers Bike Tour and Great Big Group Ride for Pediatric Cancer, both rolling 88-100km routes through rural Bucks and Northampton counties with steady climbing through farmland and state forests. The region's mix of valley flats and Appalachian foothills means workouts range from towpath running along the Delaware Canal to sustained climbs into the surrounding ridges.
