We want to invite you, your friends, and family to the 2026 Runtastic Dino! Enjoy the amazing sights and experience of the Dino Run in historic Vernal, UT. Vernal was dubbed Dinosaurland by no mistake, it is home to the largest quarry of prehistoric Jurassic dinosaur bones!

The starting line for the half marathon is at the Top of Dry Fork Canyon where you will enjoy the beautiful, fast, fun downhill course finishing at Uintah High School. The 5K run starts at Maeser Elementary School and ends at Uintah High School. There is something for the whole family to enjoy. For those younger Dino runners, they can enjoy the Kids 1/2 mile that starts at Uintah High School in Vernal.

Don’t let this race go extinct! #rundino
