The Monster Dash 5K - Northfield, MA
The Monster Dash is a community Halloween themed 5K held in Northfield, Massachusetts, with activities for runners, walkers and cyclists. The event is based at Town Hall, 69 Main St., and the start is across the street from First Parish Unitarian Church, the listed race beneficiary.
The course is a loop through the town and passes through the old St. Mary’s cemetery. It is described as mostly flat with a mild roller or two. The field typically includes walkers, families who bike or run, children, and competitive runners. Kids often ride or walk with lead and sweep adult bikers; there is police presence and/or an attendant at intersections.
Parking is available at Town Hall, with overflow parking on Parker Street or at Green Trees Gallery. Registration categories and fees listed include adult, family and student pricing. The event offers finishing gifts for the first 100 finishers and a race T-shirt; sponsors named include Northfield Creamie and the Northfield Recreation Commission, with additional support from local businesses.
If it rains, registration and awards are held inside the Unitarian church. A mapped route is available on Ride with GPS. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
