## About

The third Jurassic Dash is a prehistoric-themed race that starts and finishes at Annie's Playground in Fallston and runs out and back along the Ma & Pa Trail. The organizers pitch it as a 'roaring good time for participants of all ages': families can choose the timed 5K or an untimed one-mile fun run, which is the better fit for younger children. Every registration includes a marathon-quality finisher medal and a T-shirt, and timing is by Blue Cheetah Sports Timing. Early packet pickup is at Charm City Run in Bel Air the Monday before the race, and race-day pickup opens at 6:30 a.m. at the playground. Prices rise on race day, and a virtual option (with packet shipping) is available for anyone who cannot attend in person.
