Motherlode Monster Dash 5K

The Motherlode Monster Dash 5K is the inaugural 5K run/walk in Jackson, California, starting and finishing at the historic Jackson Catholic Cemetery. The event features a costume contest with prizes for overall speed, age-group champions, and the most spook-tacular outfits. All abilities are welcome; participants can run, walk, or zombie-shuffle their way to the finish.

It offers golden autumn scenery through the Mother Lode before a post-race party. Proceeds support the Argonaut Cross Country program. Described as a frightfully fast new tradition, the race sets a spooky tone at Cemetery Lane, Jackson, CA 95642, on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
