Muncy Monster Dash 5k

Don’t be ghoulish, come join the Organization of Parents and Teachers (OPT) on SATURDAY, October 31 as they will be hosting the 16th Annual Monster Dash 5K Run/Walk and Kids 1 Mile Fun Run in Muncy, Pa.  This is the school’s biggest fundraiser of the year! 

There are 2 races you can choose from!  The races will take place around the historical town of Muncy. The race will begin at Ward L. Myers Elementary School, 125 New Street, Muncy, Pa.  Please see the map of the routes for details. 

The 5k, timed and untimed, you pick, is for all ages! Strollers are welcomed! No pets, please.  There will be route guides along the race’s loop to guide all runners. 

The Kids 1 Mile Fun Run is mainly for students 12 and under. There will be optional obstacles on the first 1 mile loop.  If you feel your child needs an adult to make it through the first one mile safely, please join them as the Monster Dash is not liable for them.  There will be route guides along the race’s loop to guide all runners. 

The 5k will begin first at 9:30am.  Timed racers will go first followed by the untimed racers. The Kids 1 Mile Fun Run will follow shortly after approximately 9:35-9:40am.  The race will begin on time, so please plan accordingly. 

Proceeds from this event will be used to continue to support school-wide programs, activities and supplies offered to the students of Ward L. Myers Elementary School. Some specific events this race will support include, but not limited to: classroom field trips for students in K-6, school shirts to promote school pride, school dances, Santa Shop, prizes for holiday art contest, the spelling bee, educational concerts and assemblies, field day, banners around the outside of the school, and end of the year activities.   

So, gather your family and friends and join us for a spooky good time! Wear a costume or your Monster Dash shirt the day of the race! We hope to see you there!

The top male and female timed runners over the age of 18 have the opportunity to win $100 cash as the top prize!  Joe’s Pizza West End gift cards will be awarded to top timed finishers in each age group over 18.
