Lace up those costumes, secure those wigs and put your fastest foot forward! This year’s Monster Mash Dash 5K will take place on Friday October 17^th at 6 p.m. at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall and is bound to be a run of a different sort. This race features a one – mile fun run followed by the 5K race; both of which benefit Community PedsCare. The race event also features a restaurant village of food, adult beverages, children’s activities and entertainment on the main stage. Participants are encouraged to dress to impress and awards will be given for the best team participation and individual times. The Monster Mash Dash 5K is held in conjunction with the annual Halloween Doors and More event which features a spin on the average trick – or – treating experience. This race is a great opportunity for families and friends to come together to partake in the Halloween spirit and support a great cause!

All proceeds of the Monster Mash Dash 5K will benefit Community PedsCare, a nationally recognized pediatric palliative and hospice program for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. For more information, please visit mmd.communityhospice.com
