BOO! One of your earliest pre-Halloween chances to get spooked is just one week away – the West Seattle Monster Dash in Lincoln Park next Saturday (October 24), benefiting the South Seattle College Cooperative Preschools. Costumes encouraged, and yes, there are prizes! The Monster Dash starts with the main 5K at 9 am, then the kids’ dash at 10 am, and the costume contest/race-awards ceremony at 10:30 am. Pumpkin-painting and coloring activities, too. You have until Wednesday to get a discount rate for adult registration; you can still sign up after that, but the price goes up. If you don’t want to sign up online, West Seattle Runner (2743 California SW; WSB sponsor) has a packet-pickup/signup event 3-7 pm on Friday (October 23rd), day before race day.
