The number to beat: 468 dinos

FREE to join — just show up in a full head-to-toe dinosaur costume!

Be part of history, roar with the crowd, and represent Dinosaur Land like never before!

 

This year only, anyone in a dino costume will be allowed in the Dino Dash. However, only those registered will get swag, a custom race medal, and eligible to win the hot air ballon ride and other prizes. 

 

Right after the two block dino dash, head over to the parking lot right after the finish line to help break the record! 

 

Medals and prizes for best costume will be given immediately following the picture with Guiness World Records. There will be a booth across the street in front of the County Building to get your race medal and prizes. If you are not going to be in the contest (but please do!) you can wait and get your medal and prizes after the picture. (estimated finish time before 8 pm) Or pick up at a later date at Uintah Recreation 610 S. Vernal Ave.
