NEW VENUE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

  


We are excited to let you know that the 2017 Monster Dash is not only moving to the Ontario Science Centre, but it’s also in support of the Ontario Science Centre! 

100% of the pledges will support the Science Centre’s Community Access Programs, including the Adopt-a-Class program which helps deliver unforgettable science learning and experiences to schools in underserved neighbourhoods in Toronto. 

The start and finish of the event will be at the Centre, and the run/walk route will course through Wilket Creek and Sunnybrook Park trails as in the past.  The Post Event party is INDOORS, so now you can comfortably change after the run into your second costume......(:


   

 

What is Monster Dash ?

Monster Dash consists of a Spooky Mile for kids and families under 12, and a chip-timed 5km & 10km run / walk for young adults and those young at heart.  Bring your friends & family, walk your child down the Spooky Mile for some trick or treating and then finish with your own cheering squad at the end of your run!   Mom, Dad, and the Ghoulish Entourage are encouraged to also Dress Up and you can buy a Family Plan meal so you don't have to rush home for dinner.

 

Join in the Halloween theme and come “dressed for costume success” to win top Ghoul for a chance at additional prizing! Spooky Mile kids will receive finisher's ribbons, a swag bag and are welcome to join in on the post-run fun later in the evening!

  

 NEW in 2017 - MONSTER SWAG!

"sick", amazing, cool, call it what you want, these are going to be the MOST sought after finishing medals anywhere in Canada! You have to finish to open the coffin and see what's inside.....

 

 

and.......if that wasn't enough Monsters, Miles reminds everyone, NO TSHIRTS at this RUN!!!


JUST a MASSIVE, COZY, BRANDED BLANKET.

The 13 Days of Halloween are BACK.
