About the Open Door Monster Dash 5K
The course starts at Canan Commons and heads into downtown Muncie before picking up the White River greenway. From there it follows the river north and into the historic Minnetrista campus, then loops back on the Cardinal Greenway, crossing the White River on a bridge before winding back through downtown to the finish.
Packet pickup happens at two times and two locations: the Open Door Administration Building on S. Walnut Street the afternoon and evening before the race, and at Canan Commons on race morning. Parking is free at Open Door locations nearby; if you are driving on race day, the lot behind the Administration Building is easiest, entered from Mulberry Street to avoid street closures.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Open Door Monster Dash 5K has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
