Description

🧟‍♂️🕸️💀 Dare to Dash... Underground? 💀🕸️🧟‍♀️
Are you brave enough to run 650 feet below the earth’s surface through the dark, winding tunnels of a real salt mine?

Join us on October 25th for Strataca’s Annual 5K Monster Dash — a hauntingly unforgettable experience where the path is eerie, the air is cool, and shadows follow your every step. 

Come in costume and embrace the Halloween spirit! The most creative and bone-chilling outfits may earn a ghoulish surprise from the underworld. 

This isn’t your average 5K
You’ll need a helmet (bike helmets work great) and a light source — we recommend a headlamp or flashlight to guide your way through the darkness.
Helmets are required and will be inspected by staff before entry.
The first 150 runners to register will receive a limited-edition Monster Dash T-shirt & Finisher Medal! 

Important Details
No one under 8 may enter. Ages 8–18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Select your starting heat when registering — limited to 30 participants per heat.
Run or walk, but walkers should choose an earlier heat. Anyone still on the course at 12:00 PM will be picked up and driven to the finish line. 
This is a fun run — clocks will be located at the start and finish for self-timing.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your heat to pick up your race packet. Late arrivals may be rescheduled to the final heat of the day.

All proceeds support Strataca: Kansas Underground Salt Museum.
☠️ All purchases are final. Taxes and processing fees apply.
