DINO Indiana: Mountain Bike, Trail Run, Off-road Triathlon, and Adventure Racing

VASQUE DINO TRAIL RUN SERIES

Race 1 - Saturday, March 8, 2008
Indianapolis, IN - Eagle Creek Park

The original DINO Trail Run Series Venue!

This location has been the largest DINO Trail Run Series event each year. Eagle Creek Park hosts many races, but none quite like this!

UPDATE: 3/4/08
We have decided to change the start/finish and registration area of the Eagle Creek Park race due to the current and forecast weather conditions.
The race site within Eagle Creek Park will be the Mt Pleasant Picnic Area (instead of the Beach).

A new course has been designed that should provide a better race experience as well as a warmer location for pre- and post-race activities. The new course will be a clockwise 5k loop (three laps for the 15k distance).

DINO is committed to providing a quality, enjoyable race experience.
Therefore, we are providing you with the scientific data to support this change:

83% Drop in Lake-Effect Wind Chilling (at Start/Finish Area)
43% Reduced Volunteer Adversity
27% Increase in Spectator-Friendliness Quotient
17% Enhanced 15k Challenge Factor
16% Less Standing Water / Ice
100% Elimination of Two-way Traffic
(Note: values are estimates and wild guesses)

Difficulty rating: Hills: 3 / Surface: 2 (1=easy, 5=difficult)
