Rotary Monster Dash
The Rotary Monster Dash is a community running event held on October 17, 2026, in Harker Heights, Texas, at 1501 E FM 2410. The event includes a chip-timed 5K with individual awards and a separate untimed kids' race called the Little Monster Dash. Proceeds support area Rotary clubs for local projects and Rotary International efforts to end polio.
The 5K offers awards to overall male and female finishers and to the top three male and female finishers in each age group. Age groups include 11 and under, 12-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, continuing in similar five-year increments up to 70 and over. A registration fee applies for the 5K and a higher race-day registration fee is available; cash, check, and credit are accepted for race-day registration.
The Little Monster Dash is an untimed fun run for children. Costumes are encouraged and there will be a costume contest after the kids' race. Little Monster Dash participants receive a goody bag.
Logistics include guaranteed 5K shirts for early registrations with a cutoff of October 1, 2026; shirts and sizes are not guaranteed for later registrations. Early packet pickup is scheduled for October 15 (6:00pm-8:00pm) and October 16 (3:30pm-6:00pm). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
