About the Jurassic Jog 5k

The course starts and finishes at the Oviedo Mall, so the surroundings are familiar and easy to navigate. It is a chip-timed road race, rain or shine, and strollers and dogs are both welcome. A water station sits out on the course with another at the finish. Top finishers overall and across a wide range of age groups take home awards.

Packet pickup runs across several days before the race at a running store in Lake Mary, or you can grab your bib the morning of the race at the mall. Parking at the mall is free and plentiful right next to the start line.

Common Questions About the Jurassic Jog 5k

Will I finish last at the Jurassic Jog 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:13, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Jurassic Jog 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (191 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Jurassic Jog 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:15 while the median finisher took 37:13. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
