Monster Mash - Monster

Monster Mash - Monster is held in Oviedo, Florida, on October 25, 2026, with one distance on the program: a 5K run and walk over 3.1 miles, starting at 8:00 a.m. at the Oviedo Mall. The race is chip timed and welcomes runners and walkers of every level.

Chip timing and an early start make this a fair place to test your speed, and the format is competitive by design: awards go to the top three men and women, while every finisher collects a medal and age-group charms go to the best in each category. Creative costumes are encouraged and add to the atmosphere without slowing anyone down much over 3.1 miles. Afterward there are local vendors to refuel with and sponsor booths where the field tends to gather. A month of weekly 5K-pace repeats is enough preparation.
