PDOP Monster Dash

PDOP Monster Dash takes place in Pahrump, Nevada, on October 24, 2026, with two options on the program: a 5K and a 1-mile fun walk. All profits go to the Pahrump Disability Outreach Program, and entrants get free admission to Pumpkin Days. There are prizes to compete for, a costume contest alongside the running, and an event shirt for early registrants, with only limited stock left for race-day sign-ups. Door prizes and awards are handed out, but you need to be at the finish to claim them.

The two distances cover very different ambitions. Take the 5K if you want a hard 20 to 30 minutes and a shot at the prize list; take the mile walk if the day itself is the point. Runners aiming to compete should register early enough to secure the shirt, and plan to stay through the awards rather than leaving as soon as they cross the line.
