15k 2k 3.1 Miles 5k 6.2 Miles Cycling Fun Run Run Walk

It's an Orange County tradition!

The Dinosaur Dash is a community run, walk, and bike event benefiting the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. There's something for everyone--a 2k fun run, chip-timed 5k and 10k runs, and Bike Tours for all riding levels (15k and a family-friendly 5k).

The finisher medal for the 10k, 5k, and Bike Tour features our unique, student-designed logo.

The 5k and 10k top finishers in each racing age division will receive the official Dino Dash trophy--hand-made by Tustin Unified students. Second- and third-place finishers will receive a medal. The 2k Fun Run and the Bike Tour are not timed and do not have age division awards.

The 15k bike tour passes through Tustin and Irvine before returning to The Market Place in Tustin. This tour is recommended for riders age 13 and up since it is on open roads. We also offer a family-friendly 5K tour on closed roads. The Bike Tours are not timed.

A free family Expo will offer activities, school fundraising booths, and exhibitors.

The Tustin Public Schools Foundation is a charitable organization that supports the students and teachers of Tustin Unified schools by funding grants, scholarships, and enrichment programs such as after-school sports, robotics, college readiness, Tustin Summer Academy, and more.

PLEASE NOTE: Race day registrations (Sunday, November 2nd) do not include a shirt.

    Founded in 2016 by Shai, RVMRVNNXRS is a close-knit running crew based in Anaheim that brings a pirate-inspired spirit to the Disneyland running scene. With around 40 members, this unique group blends fitness challenges with Disney fandom, drawing inspiration from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Their name cleverly uses Roman numerals to symbolize the 5K and 10K distances required to join the crew, called the Rum Runners, emphasizing commitment and camaraderie. Runs take place primarily within Disneyland and Walt Disney World, where members don pirate gear and navigate iconic routes that merge athleticism with the park’s enchanting atmosphere. Beyond California, the crew travels to races in Florida, Mexico, and Ireland, nurturing a wider sense of adventure and connection. RVMRVNNXRS values inclusivity, respect, and fun, creating a welcoming community where diverse runners share their passion for fitness and friendship amidst the magic of Disney.
