From the Organizer
Join us for the 3rd annual Open Door 5K! This Halloween, we invite you to come together for a cause that creates stronger families and healthier communities. The Open Door Monster Dash 5K will raise funds for OB Right Start, Open Door Health Services’ program that helps expectant and new parents receive the care and support they need for a healthy pregnancy, a healthy baby, and a healthy future.
Starting at Canan Commons, this beautiful 5K route runs through the heart of downtown Muncie, through the historic Minnetrista campus, and on both White River and Cardinal greenways.
This year, we will also host a trunk-or-treat with fellow community organizations, including a kids dash—all in Canan Commons. Come out for the race, the treats, and to support the community. Together, we can help every little pumpkin get the healthiest start possible!
