WE are making this RACE A FOOD DRIVE!!!!
EVERY PARTICIPANT MUST BRING AT LEAST 2 CAN GOODS OR $5 CASH donation FOR THE FOOD DRIVE . The South County Outreach is an amazing NONPROFIT that serves over 400 people and families a month, providing nourishing ingredients and food items to make full and complete meals. When people visit their Food Market, they are in control of the cart and what goes in it, just like in a local grocery store. Most needed items are: canned fruit, canned fish/meat, and jelly.
PICK your course! Do you want to end the race running through the wild river (2 1/2 feet deep) and getting SPLASHED by its fountains?! Sign up for SPLASH DASH. If you are a dry lander and just want to run around the park (avoiding the WET part) sign up for the DRY RUN. Both get separate sets of age division awards. The DRY RUN does 'cut' the course short, so we may weave you on a side loop at the end to make it a 3.1.
EVERY PARTICIPANT RECEIVES:
-
Custom Cast, Very ‘Cool," Huge and Unique Finish Medal
-
Custom Designed SPLASH DASH Beach Towel
-
Age division awards

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.

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