Fight for air climb - Oakbrook Terrace

Grab your dino costume, gather your pack, and have a roaring good time at our brand-new Dino Dash! Race, jog, walk or stroll along a 2-mile fun run course entirely within Brookfield Zoo Chicago, surrounded by larger-than-life dinosaur displays and iconic Zoo views for a prehistoric adventure from start to finish.

All registered Dino Dash participants will cross the finish line to receive a commemorative Dino Dash medal.

Plus, keep the adventure going with free admission on race day to the Zoo, the Ferris Wheel and Carousel - all included with your Dino Dash registration.
