From the Organizer
DMAC’s Monster Dash Is A Unique Halloween Fun-Run & Trick-or-Treat Trail at North Lakes Park!
This year’s run will be a timed race. Each participant is required to register, which will include a running bib, themed T-shirt (only for the first 100 registrants), and entry to the costume contest happening before the race. The race itself is slightly over a 5k loop (3.3 miles) around North Lakes Park and passes the trick-or treat trail twice which will be on the existing cement sidewalk that runs along Windsor Drive and is ADA accessible. The $20 kids' special pricing does not include the themed t-shirt.
The key element of the event will be the family friendly Trick or Treat Trail, where participants can stop at various candy stations through the sidewalk path. Maps will be provided of the trail, including candy stops. The Trick or Treat trail is the existing cement sidewalk of North Lakes Park running along Windsor Dr. in Denton, TX. This specific part of the trail is ADA accessible. We’ll also have vendors set up during the event, where you can meet various local artists and businesses. This will take in the playground and picnic area of North Lakes Park.
