Race Overview:

Monster Dash 5K Halloween Edition is a bigger version of our inaugural Monster Bash Dash 5K run that we launched May 26th this year and was a huge success. The turn out for the May run was better than we initially anticipated and the monsters, atmosphere, and course all went over great. Everyone that came seemed to really enjoy running the "Scariest 5K of Your Life" with several hundred other people. Well Monster Bash Dash is coming back this October 27, 2012 and it's going to be bigger and better than the first. We will call it the Monster Dash 5K Halloween Edition. MORE MONSTERS, MORE SPOOK factor, MORE spectator area ACTIVITIES, improved course design, and more! Get everyone that you know together and come out and try to survive the monster, zombies, werewolves, and every other walking dead creature out there lurking this 5K course nestled in the woods. As many found out at the May run, the bigger your team the more chance you have at surviving the awaiting monsters.

Monster Dash 5K Halloween Edition is a very unique evening/night race here in Florida. It will be all about having a scary good time with friends, family and coworkers! Participants will be chased through out the course by "Monsters". These Monsters will try to grab the flags that each participant will be wearing. Race will be held in West Central Florida at the Roper Ranch in Clermont, FL. Note: It is not a mud race nor will it have big tall climbing obstacles, but it will have tons of challenges!

Participants will encounter several scary things as they make their way to the finish. Spectators can use the "Zombie Blasters" to blast their family and friends as they run by. Runners beware, there may be a few monsters lurking with "Zombie Blasters" of their own. Participants will encounter the "Slaughter House", the "Goblin Gauntlet", the "Haunted Hay" to name a few. Monsters, Goblins, Werewolves, Vampires will drop from trees, come out from the woods and try to get those flags without touching or grabbing the participant. To be honest some of the participants will be so scared that they will just give the Monsters their flags..;-).

Participants that make it to the finish line with at least one flag, will get a special finisher medal that tells everyone that they "Survived the Monsters at The Monster Dash 5K", while those they have no flags at the finish will get a different finisher medal letting everyone know that they ended up becoming the "Walking Dead at the Monster Dash 5K". Vendors, Great Food, Ice Cold Beer, Fantastic Venue, many creepy activities, the most unique t shirts for any race are just some of the things we will have for participants and spectators.

Registration for the Little Creeps (Kid's race ages 5 to 10yrs) has now been added! The Little Creep's wave will start at 5:30 PM and will be between 3/4 to 1 mile long. Nothing real scary, but still a little spooky. No flag belts will be used and all kids get a full size medal and a Survivor t-shirt. Parents can run with them too.

Wave Times:

Waves will start at 6:00 PM for ages 8 and above, but we will run special waves at dark for adults, but they must have a working headlamp mounted on their head at the starting line or they cannot leave the start. The Night Waves were so popular at our May run we're offering only 1 daylight wave and the rest will be run after dark requiring all night participants to wear a working headlamp (ROA will have headlamps for sale at the event as well as online). Team entries are encouraged as survivor rates increase as groups can fend off the undead better than just one solo runner. There will be an awesome Team trophy for the team that brings the most flesh to the Monster Bash Dash. All this extra flesh will help to quench the Monster's appetite! Teams will need to be registered and must have a scary name...;-) There will also an award for the scariest costume that is not painted on!
