From the Organizer
Tyler Union and M&H Valve of Anniston proudly announce their first Molten Monster Mash 5k race. This is a Halloween themed run, so costumes are not required but encouraged.
The race will be located at the YMCA of Calhoun County located at 29 West 14th Street Anniston, AL 36201.
We will use their out-and-back, USATF-certified course winding through historic downtown Anniston.
Also, we will have a Mini-Monster Dash for kids. This will be a short course that will not cross any roads with plenty of sentries.
All registrants will receive a long sleeve T-shirt and a mug. We will have trophies for overall female and male winners and age bracket winners.
There will also be a costume contest, so get creative!
