The 13th Annual Monster Dash Run for Education

Run either IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY! Either way it's going to be awesome! NOTE: ALL IN-PERSON RACE REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 10PM ON FRIDAY, OCT 29! There is NO registration on site on race day.  Please read steps below before registering.

The race profits support grants in Ashland Public Schools through the Ashland Schools Foundation (ASF). In 2020-21, ASF provided over $170,000 in grant support to our local schools, awarding more grants than ever in our 30 year history. Now, we're counting on YOU (and your family, and friends, and neighbors...) to make this year bigger than ever!

Step 1

Decide if you'll be racing in-person (at Lithia Park on Saturday, Oct 30), or doing your own virtual race (run and track your own race on a route of your choice between Oct 22 and 31).

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

*If you're registering just to support, but don't plan on running, please use the Virtual option. Our in-person race spaces are limited this year!

Step 2

Decide which distance you'll be registering for (1-Mile, 5K, 10K), and IF IN-PERSON, which race wave you want to choose.  

The 1-Mile starts at 9:30am, 10:30am, and 11:30am.

The 5K starts at 9:00am or 10:30am.

The 10K starts at 8:00am only, so no wave signup needed.

NOTE: In-person Race Registration ENDS at 10pm on Friday, Oct 29. There is no race registration on race day. 

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!

As of October 18, race t-shirts are NO LONGER available for pre-order. We may have some available for purchase at packet pickup and race day at $20 for Adult sizes and $15 for Youth sizes. Monster Dash hoodies ARE still available for order as long as quantities last! 

Step 5

Follow the directions in your follow-up email regarding Packet Pickup (for all runners), COVID restrictions for in-person racers, and uploading your time for virtual runners (to be eligible for prize drawings).

Step 6

Show up and run your race! Whether you're running with other participants in Lithia Park, or with friends and family in your own personal virtual Monster Dash, have fun!
