The Monster Dash

The Monster Dash 5K is an annual nighttime run/walk event held at the Arizona Boardwalk in Scottsdale, AZ. Participants can enjoy a 5K course where monsters and mummies roam, creating a spooky and fun atmosphere perfect for costume wearers. The event welcomes runners, walkers, wheelchairs, strollers, and leashed pets, but prohibits bicycles and motorized devices.

It features chip timing with real-time results, age group awards, and pre- and post-race snacks. Packet pickup is available before race day, and a virtual run option allows participants to join remotely. The Monster Dash offers a unique, festive experience combining fitness and Halloween-themed fun. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
