Qdoba DINO Trail Run Series

GENERAL TRAIL RUN INFORMATION

WHAT IS A DINO TRAIL RUN??

The Qdoba DINO Trail Run Series takes you to some of the most scenic and
challenging trails in central Indiana . Most of these trails are hiking
and/or mountain bike trails. On a typical course, you'll face a variety of
challenges; such as hills, dirt, rocks, roots, and occasionally mud and
stream crossings. It isn't the kind of course to set a record time; but it
is guaranteed to be a memorable experience - shared with a few hundred of
our closest friends! Choose your distance: 5k (3.1 miles) or 15k (9.3
miles). (Distances may vary by +/- 5% due to the nature of the terrain and
layout restrictions.)

DINO has been the leader in Indiana trail running events since 2001. For
2012, DINO adds "Instant Results" - immediately after finishing, you'll be
able to see your time and placing on our display screen. There won't be any
extra steps required - no "chip" on your shoe to attach before the race or
remove afterward.

Sign up for your nearest venue, or save on the entire series with a season
pass. Difficulty levels vary - see course descriptions and ratings.

In addition to the fun of the event itself, many runners find trail running
to be much gentler on the body than pounding the pavement. The events are
family friendly; you'll even find that loyal participants become like
family!

With your entry, you will receive: Spectacular trails, great competition,
prompt results, quality awards, race commentary, post-race, fresh Qdoba
burrito bar (or gift certificates at some locations), chances to win random
prizes and free goodies from our sponsors, bib number with instant results,
water, sports drink, fruit post-race from Green BEAN Delivery, other snacks,
and more.
