The Mother Lode Monster Dash is back!!!

Along the way, you’ll soak in the golden autumn beauty of the Mother Lode before crossing the finish line for our ghoulishly great post-race party at 9:00 AM.

Park at the Jackson Catholic Cemetery on Cemetery Ln. in Downtown Jackson, and start and finish the race alongside the spirits of the dead.
