About this race
18th Annual Monster Dash Run for Education
This race can be run either IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY!
Either way, it's going to be awesome. This race supports grants in Ashland Public Schools through the Ashland Schools Foundation (ASF). In 2025-26, ASF funded over 125 grant requests from local teachers and administrators. Now, we’re counting on YOU (and your family, and friends, and neighbors...) to register for this year’s Monster Dash and ensure it’s bigger than ever!
See the event website for details on both the in-person and virtual events: www.ashlandmonsterdash.com
