Get ready to dash at the Monster Mash

2014 Monster Mash Dash, Saturday, October 11th, 9am

It's time to start preparing for Shoreline's 5k Monster Mash Dash! Last year brought out some awesome and crazy costumes for Shoreline's annual 5k family fun run.

Superheroes, villains and monsters all joined forces to tackle the Interurban Trail in the name of health and fitness. With this year's Dash just a couple of weeks away you better get your costume ready (it's a costume contest too!) and be prepared to "run for your life!"

What is the Dash Like?

The Monster Mash Dash is a family 5k fun run and walk along Shoreline's Interurban Trail. All ages and abilities are encouraged to participate so bring the whole family and costumes are highly encouraged for optimal spookiness.

The course starts on the Interurban Trail at 175th St. and heads south to 148th and then returns north to the starting location again. Prizes will be awarded for the best costume in each age group as well as best group costume. More information including pre-registration online.

How to prepare

Shoreline's Interurban Trail is an excellent tool to help you stay in shape or prepare for walking/running events. The trail extends continuously for 3 miles running the entire length of the City from north to south. Beyond Shoreline the interurban trail extends north up to Everett and south down to Seattle making it an excellent option for getting from one place to another by foot or bike.
