2025 Ashland Monster Dash Run for Education

🎉 17th Annual Monster Dash Run for Education

The 17th Annual Monster Dash Run for Education 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 2024-25, ASF funded over 110 grant requests from local teachers and administrators. Now, we are 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
