Event Details

In 2018, the Monster Mash 5K Bash at The Carson Center made its Spooktacular debut. Last year, we had over 150 costumed runners and walkers! This year, The Carson Center’s Annual Monster Mash 5K Bash and 1 MILE FUN Run/Walk will take place on Sunday, October 8 at 4 PM

Get ready for frights, festivities, and fun for the whole family! Come dressed in your Halloween best (costumes encouraged but not required!) After the run/walk, all monsters will be treated to Halloween Treats! Enjoy “franks” and “steins” after the race; one hot dog and beer or soda are included with your registration. Additional drinks and snacks may be purchased on the day of the race.
