Monster Dash

Team Ortho Foundation wants to make residents aware that on Saturday,October 25th, 2014 they will host the Monster Dash Half Marathon/10 Mile/5K Race in Saint Paul. The Half marathon and 10 Mile will have approximately 10,000 participants. Our runners would love to have you come cheer them on or have you join them for the race! 

We have arranged temporary road closures and detours with the City of St. Paul, the police and parks department regarding all event details.

Crossing Summit Avenue during the race:Summit Avenue between Nina and Mississippi River Boulevard will close at 7:30 a.m.  After that time officers will allow crossing at these intersections when it is safe to do so:  Dale, Lexington, Snelling, Cleveland, Fairview and Cretin.  You may have a bit of a wait, or no wait at all.  The Race starts at 8:30 a.m. so any time between 8:30 and 9:30 will likely have Summit Avenue very busy with runners.  Please plan accordingly.
If you are on the south side of Summit and need to get to the North side of Summit, we suggest to go to Jefferson Avenue and connect with Northbound Ayd Mill Road.
If you are on the south side of Summit and need to go west, take West 7th/Highway 5 westbound to Minneapolis.

St. Paul Police will reopen the roads after the last runner has passed. Please mark your calendar and share this information with others who may also be impacted in your neighborhood. You can see additional information and neighborhood detours on our website athttp://www.minnesotamonster.org.
