Monster Mash 5K
The Monster Mash 5K is scheduled for October 31, 2026 at Bold Rock Cidery in Nellysford, Virginia. The event is a 5 kilometer out-and-back course that is described as easy and flat, mostly on pavement with some gravel; walkers, all-terrain strollers, and dogs are welcome.
Race services include professional chip timing, a short sleeve performance event tee, a commemorative finisher glass, a post-race party, and an awards ceremony. Post-race beverages include a pint of Bold Rock Hard Cider for participants over 21 and a complimentary glass of non-alcoholic sparkling cider for children and adults under 21; beverage tickets are attached to race bibs and participants should bring proper ID if consuming alcohol.
Registration fees are tiered: $40 until 10/8/26, $45 from 10/9/26 through 10/30/26, and $50 on 10/31/26. Participants registered on or before October 18 are guaranteed an event shirt; a limited number of extra shirts may be available after packet pickup while supplies last.
Teams are encouraged; a complete team is two or more participants and prizes are awarded for the biggest team and best team costume. A referral program offers a $10 refund to a registrant who refers four friends who sign up using their referral link. Awards are given to overall male and female finishers and to first place finishers in listed age groups; prizes vary by age and winners must be present at the awards ceremony to receive them.
