Event Overview
The Monster Mash Bash - Run for a Cure is a 30-hour endurance event held in Burnet, Texas. The challenge follows a specific format: participants must complete 1 mile every hour for up to 30 hours. The course is a closed, one-mile out-and-back route consisting of approximately 0.5 miles out and 0.5 miles back, utilizing a mix of trail and road surfaces.
Participation Rules
The event begins at 7:00 AM, but runners may choose to enter at any scheduled hourly start. Once a participant begins their first mile, they must start and complete every consecutive hourly round to remain in the challenge. Each mile must be finished before the next hourly start begins. If a participant misses an official start time or fails to complete the mile within the hour, they are eliminated from the competition. There are no make-up miles or re-entries allowed after elimination.
Distances and Awards
The event features a single recurring distance:
- 1 mile every hour for 30 hours (30 miles total)
All registered participants receive a patch, a tumbler, and stickers. Runners also earn reflective distance plates based on the highest milestone successfully reached, such as 5 miles, 10 miles, or the full 30 miles.
Logistics and Facilities
The race takes place at 4319N US HWY 281. Participants may establish a personal base camp in designated areas with tents or canopies. The event provides water, ice, and portable restrooms, as well as complimentary foot-care products for blister and friction management. Runners are responsible for their own food, electrolytes, and lighting, as an operational headlamp or flashlight is mandatory for nighttime rounds. Net proceeds from the entry fees are donated to Jar of Hope. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
