The Wayzata Boo Bash Dash Is Frightfully Fun

Wayzata’s Boo Bash gives family-friendly competitions, neighborhood occasions and scary-good meals.

The Wayzata Boo Bash Dash returns on October 25 in downtown Wayzata. The fun-filled occasion kicks off with a 10K at 9 a.m., adopted by a 5K at 9:15 a.m., the Competitive Lake Street Mile at 10:30 a.m. and the Family Fun Run at 10:40 a.m. Costumes are inspired, and a dressing up contest will happen from 9–11 a.m. with prizes awarded each half hour. Fuel up with scary-good dishes from Benedict’s and Red Cow, served from 8 a.m.–midday.

But the enjoyable doesn’t cease after the races. Participants and spectators alike are welcome to hitch in on the pumpkin derby and a pumpkin pie-eating contest. A Boo Blast celebration may also happen, starting at 11 a.m., with native outlets taking part in trick-or-treating and in-store actions and specials.

“Events like this are possible because of partnerships and sponsorships,” says Becky Pierson, president of the Wayzata West Metro Chamber. “We enjoy coming together, sharing experiences and continuing tradition in the community.”
