Monster Dash Family 5K and Little Goblins Run

Get your scream ready.  The Monster Dash 5K is back in Grant Park for the third consecutive year, and along with the family-friendly 5K run/walk is also a 1 Mile Fun Run, as well as a Little Goblins Run for children five years old and younger.

Families are encouraged to come in costume, bring the strollers and start their weekend with a heart-pumping run/walk through beautiful Grant Park.   All proceeds from the event will benefit the Grant Park Cooperative Preschool.

All pre-registered participants for the 5K and 1 Mile receive a long-sleeved, 100 percent cotton event shirt as well as a goody bag valued at more than $60 including one general admission ticket to Zoo Atlanta, and gift certificates and discounts at area restaurants including Agave, Doc Chey’s, Grant Park Coffeehouse, Max's Pizza, Biergarten, Six Feet Under and Tin Lizzy’s.

Race day registration opens at 7:30 a.m. with the 5K beginning at 8:30 a.m., the 1 Mile Fun Run at 9:00 a.m. and the Little Goblins Run at 9:30 a.m.
