Build my planAbout this race
Join us for the 8th Annual Michigan Monster Dash, returning to the scenic Kensington Metro Park! Runners will enjoy breathtaking views, a mostly flat course, and the peaceful beauty of Kensington’s wooded surroundings. The Start/Finish line is set at picturesque Maple Beach, with the race winding along the shores of stunning Kent Lake.
Can’t make it to the park? No problem! All race distances are also available virtually. Simply choose your distance and complete it on your own schedule—whether that’s in your neighborhood, on a treadmill, at a local park, or wherever you feel most comfortable.
We can’t wait to welcome you to this fun, family-friendly Halloween tradition!
