Join us for a Halloween-themed charity fun run, hosted by Denton Music and Art Collaborative (DMAC Denton) in conjunction with the City of Denton’s 31 days of Halloween! The 1st DMAC Monster Dash and Trick or Treat Trail will be held on Sunday, October 20, 2024. This family-friendly costume-encouraged event takes place at South Lakes Park in Denton, TX.
This is an inclusive, family-oriented event, where runners, walkers, and strollers/rollers are welcome. Each participant is required to register. Stick around after the race to see our award ceremony.
Trick or Treat Trail, 1 mile. This is the key element of the Monster Dash event! The Trick or Treat Trail is where participants can stop at various candy stations through the sidewalk path. Maps will be provided of the trail, including the candy stops. (Our Trick or Treat Trail is the existing cement sidewalk of South Lakes Park in Denton, TX. This specific part of the trail is ADA accessible.)
For runners who want to do the full 5K, the race track will include the additional 2.1 miles including the soft surface dirt trail at South Lakes Park. For 2024’s race we will not be having a timed run. We anticipate that this will be an annual event and would love to grow into a timed run. For signing up to run the full 5k you’ll get an honorary badge.
For attendees 13 and under, we have a discounted ticket rate of $20. This includes access to the event, attendee wristband, and an exclusive event sticker.
For ages 14 and up, tickets are $40. This includes access to the event, attendee wristband, an exclusive event sticker, and a locally screen-printed exclusive event shirt.
T-shirts are unisex adult sizing (XS-3XL) and come with the purchase of a $40 adult ticket. If you would like a larger size, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can try to accommodate you. Need an extra t-shirt? Robot Monster Prints will be live printing shirts on location.
Funds from this event will help fund DMAC’s Healthcare Subsidy Program. If you would like to donate directly to DMAC you can do so on our donation page.
