The 15th Annual Monster Dash Run for Education

Saturday, October 28, 2023

Run the Monster Dash either IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY! Either way it's going to be awesome!  Note: Please read steps below before registering. 

The race profits support grants in Ashland Public Schools through the Ashland Schools Foundation. In 2021-22, ASF provided over $125,000 in grant support to our local schools. Now, we're counting on YOU (and your family, and friends, and neighbors) to make this year's fundraising event bigger than ever!

Step 1

Decide if you'll be racing in-person at Lithia Park on Saturday, Oct 28th or doing your own virtual race (running and tracking your own race on a route of your choice between Oct 21st and 31st).

Prices are the same for either option. Youth 18 and under are ALWAYS just $10 per race!

*If you're registering just to give support but don't plan on running, please use the Virtual option. 

Step 2

Decide which distance you'll be registering for (1-Mile, 5K, 10K).

The 5K and 10K start at 9:00am.

The 1-Mile starts at 10:30am.

NOTE: Registration for IN-PERSON races will close at 11:59pm, Friday, Oct 27. There will be no registrations available at the race on race-day, so make sure you register in advance! 

Step 3

Click the button below to register you and your family members at one time (you'll save money on fees). 

Step 4

Don't forget the extras! Make a donation to our school grants fund, or pick up some race gear!

Race t-shirts may also available for purchase at packet pickup and race day for $20 Adult sizes and $15 Youth sizes. Monster Dash hoodies are available for order as long as quantities last!
