Prepare for a prehistoric pursuit at the Jurassic Run 5K, set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in Ogden, Utah. This thrilling 3.1-mile race offers a truly unique experience, transforming your run into an adventurous dash through the George S. Eccles Ogden Dinosaur Park. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 88°F and lows near 60°F, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, creating a warm and generally dry environment for your escape.

The course itself promises excitement and scenery, starting and finishing amidst the impressive, life-sized dinosaurs of the park, specifically under the legs of the Brontosaurs. While classified as flat with a rolling 40-meter elevation gain, the 100% paved route features many twists and turns, strategically designed to maximize your encounters with the park's ancient inhabitants. Runners will venture out onto the Ogden River Trail before looping back, with the final stretch inside the dinosaur park where you might encounter "dino heads that may pop out" or even a "realistic dino that may chase you". Aid stations along the course will provide essential hydration with water and Powerade to keep you fueled.

Beyond the exhilarating run, the Jurassic Run 5K fosters a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere. Participants are encouraged to embrace the theme by dressing in dinosaur costumes, adding to the festive fun. Your registration includes a themed race shirt, professional electronic timing, a bib number, and a high-quality finisher medal if you register 30 days prior to the event. The adventure concludes with post-race festivities featuring swag, prizes, and food at the finish line, celebrating your successful journey back from the age of dinosaurs.
