Race 4 - Saturday, July 1, 2006
North Vernon, IN - Muscatatuck Park
Difficulty rating: Hills: 4 / Surface: 4 (1=easy, 5=difficult)
Muscatatuck Park is perhaps the toughest, but most scenic, of this year's DINO Trail Run Series venues. Challenging hills give you the opportunity to see spectacular vistas of the Muscatatuck River and several deep ravines. Although the farthest drive from Indianapolis (approx. 1hr 15 min), it is absolutely worth it.
It’s also a good chance to earn high series points, due to the drive deterring some participants.

This is a great place for a weekend excursion, as the DINO Challenge Festival gives you the chance to experience trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing, rappelling, canoeing, and other outdoor adventures. Celebrate with us in the great outdoors. Camping is available in the park (primitive and full hook-ups).
