About this race
2026 Monster Dash Overview
Get ready for a skele-ton of fun, fitness, and frights at the fourth annual Monster Dash in Morningside-Lenox Park! On Saturday morning, October 24, join us for a 5k Halloween run/walk that will have you haunting the picturesque streets of this charming Atlanta neighborhood.
This event is perfect for fitness enthusiasts, families, and anyone who loves a ghoulishly fun time. Whether you prefer to run, walk or stroll, all ghosts and goblins are welcome for a morning of community, costumes, and healthy competition. And if you’re feeling feisty, be sure to bring your fastest broom - this is a chip timed race! There will be a Kids Dash, too, for our younger runaway pumpkins.
Don't miss your chance to support the Morningside-Lenox Park Association (MLPA). Dress up in your favorite costume and show off your netherworld spirit. This is not your average 5k - it's a Halloween smash. So mark your calendar for the Morningside Monster Dash!
