Solid First time

This was a very fun race, but I have just a few critiques to make it even better. A) Unless you are the guy that won the race, strollers should be held for at least 10 minutes, its no fun trying to dodge strollers or being ran over by strollers. B) Please don't allow dogs, I love dogs, but on the parkway which is already narrow it makes it very very tough to pass. Overall a great race that was really fun

Loved this!

I just started running this year on a regular basis and I was so excited to do this run! How exciting of an idea! Loved how all-out it was! Loved being able to see the museum! Having prizes at the end was very cool as well! Thinking that maybe they close off part of the road for the run next time so it's not so crowded at the beginning would be a good idea. Everyone was very nice and made it such a fun experience! Definitely would do it again!

T-Rex Sized Fun

I just want to congratulate you on an awesome Jurassic Run. We had a great time. The course was great and the dinosaur antics made it fun and memorable. I was impressed by the little details like the introductory emails, field guide book, and the gifts for the kid runners. You put on a great show! We have done other onhillevents races and we always leave having had a great time.

Great race, but different than advertised

It was a fun course around and through the park. Great for families, good treats too. My one complaint is that it was advertised that dinosaurs are chasing and jump-scaring runners. This was not the case. A few people wore costumes along the course, but there was no chasing and only 1 dino was even close to 'hidden'. I would suggest for future runs to divide runners into time categories (have someone hold a sign) to allow more organization and a dino could be assigned to pursue each group.

Jurassic Run

Very fun. Dinosaur costumed people shouldn't touch the runners at all. It was hard at the turn around when over 300 people were coming towards me, I had to dodge a lot of them and had to get into the road for a second cause a chunk of them wouldn't move.
