About the _ _ _Dinosaur Run_ _ _
The course loops around a school campus, with dinosaur figures posted along the route. It is a lighthearted setup, and the agricultural surroundings, including a working farm area, give it a different feel from a road race. The start and finish are marked by a green arch near the farm.
Packet pickup happens the morning of the race, right at the start line. Parking is off Pine Street, and from there you walk toward the farm to find the green arch. A kids race goes off before the main event, so there is something to watch while you warm up.

The _ _ _Dinosaur Run_ _ _ has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
