About the Jurassic Dash 5K & Fun Run
The course runs out and back along the Ma & Pa Trail, a paved rail trail that keeps things smooth underfoot. The start and finish are at Annie's Playground, so the area has a park feel rather than a downtown staging area. Race-day packet pickup opens early, well before the start, so you do not need to rush in.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Jurassic Dash 5K & Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
