About this race

Changing Lives 2nd Annual Event - Monster Dash 5K Fundraiser

Join us for the 2nd Annual Event the Monster Dash 5K Fundraiser hosted by Changing Lives — a fun, family-friendly event dedicated to raising awareness and critical funding for the organization’s Mental Health & Continuum of Care Program. Mental health support plays a vital role in helping individuals and families achieve long-term stability and success. Unfortunately, affordable mental health services have remained out of reach for many people experiencing — or at risk of — homelessness. Proceeds from this event will directly support access to therapy, counseling, and ongoing care services that were previously unavailable to many of our clients. This exciting community event welcomes participants of all ages — including walkers, runners, families with strollers, individuals using wheelchairs or walkers. Participants can choose from several fun ways to join the event: Monster Dash 5K Run or Walk
