Michigan Monster Dash

The Michigan Monster Dash is an annual running event held at Kensington Metro Park in Milford, Michigan, featuring a family-friendly Halloween atmosphere. Participants can choose from multiple distances including a half marathon, 10k, 5k, and a 1k kids dash, with both in-person and virtual options available. The course offers scenic, relatively flat terrain through secluded woodlands, starting and finishing at Maple Beach near Kent Lake.

Organized by Finish Line Runs, the event is known for its memorable shirts, medals, and excellent post-race food and drinks. It also supports Make-A-Wish Michigan, with donations helping children with life-threatening illnesses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
