Mission College Monster Dash & Bash 5K

The Mission College Monster Dash and Bash 5K Walk/Run begins and ends on the beautiful Mission College Campus in Santa Clara, CA. With an unyielding commitment to fostering student success, Mission College’s 5K Walk/Run promises to bring about a profound impact, embracing the values of unity and philanthropy within the community. The Monster Dash & Bash is a truly memorable experience.

Course is on flat paved road. This 5K is open to runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities. The race is fully supported with a closed course, water stations, and first aid available. Post-race we encourage you to enjoy the beer garden, entertainment, and food trucks.

The proceeds from the event will be directed towards student scholarships, underscoring the profound impact of accessible higher education. When we come together, small gifts make a big impact. Your support helps provide Emergency Assistance grants, which offers prompt, responsive financial help when students need it most. Emergency assistance grants alleviate some of our students’ unexpected financial burdens, and help them meet their most basic needs like food, transportation, money for rent, or access to technology. In the face of rising educational costs, scholarships emerge as a beacon of hope for students navigating financial barriers. While community colleges offer a more cost-effective alternative to traditional four-year institutions, many students from low-income backgrounds still struggle to access quality education.
