This DINO Trail Run Series course is considered an intermediate difficulty course with a few moderate climbs, a bit of a break between the super-hilly past two races and the upcoming final two in the series. The action should be no less exciting however, as the course lends itself well to spectators. In addition, the Zoo and plenty of dining, lodging, and entertainment options are nearby in Fort Wayne. Start time is 9:00 am. Registration begins at 7:00. More information: http://www.dinoseries.com/run/schedule/2002/race6.htm Early registrations due the Wednesday prior to the race.

Amy Bork's top finish in the women's division made three 15k podium spots for Bloomington residents. The exciting 5k was won by Christopher Sinnett who passed Robb Awe on a downhill just before the final climb, giving all he had to win by seven seconds. Cindy Moll picked up another DINO Trail Run win with Christie Terrell second. A hot, humid day, along with the relentless ups and downs and twists and turns of Wapehani Park's trails, made for a demanding race. Race director Brian Holzhausen was able to join in and experience the grueling 15k himself. "You guys are tough!!! And you pay to do this to yourself?!"
