Fright Night 5k
About this race
Get ready to run, scream, and celebrate downtown at the Fright Night 5K!
The race will start and finish at Flying Tiger Brewery, taking runners through the heart of Downtown Monroe with plenty of spooky surprises along the way. From creepy characters to unexpected frights, you never know what you’ll encounter as you make your way through the course!
Everyone is welcome! The Fright Night 5K is a family-friendly event, and you don’t have to be a runner to join the fun. Walkers are welcome, too! Whether you’re racing for a personal best, walking with the family, or just looking for a fun night downtown, there’s a place for you at Fright Night.
After the race, keep the fun going with custom finisher medals, age group awards, a costume contest, and live music. Every registered runner will also receive a free drink from Flying Tiger Brewery to enjoy after crossing the finish line.
And don’t miss the Jackson Culp Band, taking the stage at 7:30 PM to keep the night going!
Best of all, your participation helps support the Downtown Monroe Main Street Volunteer Board, allowing them to continue creating, supporting, and hosting events that bring our downtown community together.
Lace up. Dress up. Get scared. Then celebrate downtown!
