Description

🧛‍♂️🕯️🩸 Dare to Dash… Into the Underworld? 🩸🕯️🧛‍♀️

This Halloween, the gates to the underworld creak open… and you’re invited in.

Descend 650 feet below the earth’s surface and race through the shadowy tunnels of a real salt mine, lit by flickering lanterns and eerie candlelight, every twist and turn feels like a step deeper into the unknown…

Join us on October 31st at 8:00 AM for Strataca’s Annual 5K Monster Dash : Underworld Awakening, where the air is chillingly still, shadows stretch along the salt walls, and you never quite know what’s lurking just beyond your light.

🦇 Come in costume and embrace your place among the creatures of the underworld! Whether you’re a classic vampire, crypt keeper, or something entirely unearthly, the most fang-tastic looks may earn a devilishly good surprise.

🩸 This isn’t your average 5K… You’ll need a helmet (bike helmets work great) and a light source — headlamps or flashlights are highly recommended to guide your way through the underground darkness. Helmets are required and will be inspected by staff before entry.

⚠️ Please Note: The first 200 runners to register will receive a limited-edition Monster Dash T-shirt and a Finisher Medal.

Once the 200 medal limit is reached, additional registrations will not include a medal. T-shirt sizes may be limited after the first 200 registrants and will be distributed first-come, first-served at check-in.

🕯️ Important Details

This is a fun run, clocks will be located at the start and finish for self-timing. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your heat to pick up your race packet. Late arrivals may be moved to the final heat.
