Fun and easy race

This race is for a great cause. I ran it for the first time in 2013 and I've run it a couple times since then. I like the fact all the proceeds go to support the orphans in Romania. The course is easy and they have great raffle prizes!

Family Friendly, Halloween Costumes and a Noble Cause

I have loved running this race the past few years. The course was changed to the Jordan River Parkway trail last year which was great. It's an easier course and better than the previous course. I love how family friendly the race is. We can dress up in fun Halloween costumes and 100% of the proceeds go towards orphans and abandoned children in Romania. I love supporting the cause!

Well Organized Race

Our family has participated in Dracula's Dash for many years. Our kids love the Kids run and look forward to it every year! We bought raffle tickets last year and won an awesome reclaimed wood bench that we have absolutely loved. It's great knowing all the proceeds go to a good cause. We're training and can't wait for this years race!

Fun Halloween Themed Race

This Halloween Themed Race is always fun! It's a great race for all ages. It has a well rounded group of supporters from avid runners to young children. You don't need to be a running enthusiast to enjoy the event. All the proceeds go to helping Romanian Orphans. It's nice to know that none of the leaders/board members are compensated and that every dollar earned goes to supporting the cause.

Fun Halloween race for a good cause

Fun, relaxed race along the Jordan River Parkway. Probably a quarter of the runners come in costume - there's always a good laugh or two. Course is flat and relatively easy. Race benefits Bridge of Love, a non-profit that serves Romanian children. Fun family atmosphere, lots of prizes, just a fun way to celebrate Halloween and do good for deserving children in early October.

Fantastic race, HUGE prize raffle, and even better cause!

Dracula’s Dash is amazing! Challenging course (Cottonwood Complex) in years past, but changing venues this year. All the normal perks: food, drink, swag bag, running shirt PLUS all runners entered into a HUGE prize raffle. I've seen runners win iPad/TV/bike/gift card/basket/event tix/etc. Tons of fun. Great family event. The race benefits Bridge of Love, which works w/ abandoned children in Romania (hence the tie to Transylvania and Dracula!). Amazing cause! You won't regret participating!
