The event program includes a Monster Mash 5K with adult and child divisions and a Creature Crawl 1K for children. The 5K is an out and back course to be completed one time and features a staffed drink station at the halfway/turnaround point. Prizes are awarded to the top three male and top three female finishers in each category of the 5K. The Creature Crawl 1K uses a closed loop course with trick‑or‑treat stops and volunteers stationed along the route.

Registration items vary by category. Monster Mash 5K registrations note complimentary cider or coffee and donuts; the child 5K and Creature Crawl registrations add face painting. The Creature Crawl registration can also include a swag bag and an event shirt for early registrants. Fee levels listed by the organizer include a $20 fee for the adult 5K category, $10 for the child 5K and Creature Crawl entries, and a $1 option for accompanying adult chaperones. All attendees are required to register and complete the waiver. Registration opens September 1, 2026; some categories close in early October and others in late October 2026.
