Providence Monster Dash 5K je 3.1-míľový beh alebo prechádzka s halloweenskou témou v Downtown Providence, Rhode Island, so štartom aj cieľom na Water Street. Tento každoročný jesenný pretek nie je len pre bežcov: chodiči sa môžu zúčastniť 5K, deti do 12 rokov majú svoj vlastný krátky beh a rodičia môžu bežať spolu s deťmi. Detský beh má približne štvrť míle, pričom najprv štartujú dievčatá, potom chlapci. Kočíky sú povolené, ale kvôli bezpečnosti musia štartovať vzadu; domáce zvieratá nie sú na 5K povolené. Pretek spája Halloween so súťažami o kostýmy. Najlepší individuálny kostým získa $100 a najlepší tímový kostým vyhrá $200, pričom v tímovej kategórii sú potrební aspoň traja účastníci. Monster Dash je tiež súčasťou Run Rhody Grand Slam, čo je séria štyroch 5K pretekov od septembra do decembra. Účastníci sa môžu prihlásiť na preteky Grand Slamu naraz, aby znížili štartovné, a každý, kto dokončí všetky štyri, dostane Grand Slam finisher medailu a darček. Virtuálna účasť je možná a započítava sa do série, s tričkami, ktoré si vyzdvihneš pri prevzatí štartového balíčka, alebo ti ich pošlú poštou neskôr.
