October is such a fun time of year for races. If you’d like to run an enjoyable small race and celebrate the Halloween season at the same time, consider joining the community of St. Helens on October 14th for the St. Helens Monster Dash 5k and 10k. This is a benefit for local military veterans, so it’s for a good cause in addition to being a super fun event.
Zombie races are all the rage, and this one, presented by the Rotary Club of Columbia County, won’t disappoint. You’ll be running through a post-apocalyptic version of historical downtown St. Helens on race day, trying to keep yourself from getting snatched by zombies.
Both race distances will begin at 12:00PM at Columbia View Park. The course will be relatively flat which makes for a fast getaway from the traditionally slow-moving zombies. Both routes will take runners through McCormick Park where you’ll want to watch out for those zombies on the gravel walking paths.
If you are more interested in being a zombie than a runner, (or if one of your friends or family members wants to participate,) the race directors could use your help. To volunteer for this, sign up here. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old.
Good luck surviving the zombies!
