About the Monster Dash
Monster Dash runs along the Pacific Electric Trail, starting just outside a community center at Central Park. The course is a Halloween-themed evening event, so costumes are part of the scene. Runners and walkers share the trail, and group costumes are common. Proceeds go to a local nonprofit supporting children navigating trauma.
After finishing, there is a vendor fair with food, drinks, and activities, plus post-race snacks. Free running shoe demos are available on race morning while supplies last. Packet pickup and registration details are worth confirming closer to the date through the event's official channels.
