SBFD Engine Co. Monster Dash

10/26/2025

Thank you to everyone who made the 2025 Monster Dash a success.

We truly appreciate all the runners, families, and community members who came out to participate and show their support. It was great to see so many smiling faces, creative costumes, and positive energy throughout the morning. Your enthusiasm helps make this event something special each year.

A huge thank-you also goes out to the members of the Stony Brook Fire Department who put in the time and effort to make everything run smoothly — from setup before sunrise to cleanup after the last runner crossed the finish line. Your teamwork and dedication made the day seamless and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Even though the weather was cool, the community spirit was warm, and the event once again reminded us what makes Stony Brook such a great place to live and serve.

Thank you all for being part of another successful Monster Dash. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Thank you to Frank Sarno for taking these awesome pictures!
