Race disguised as a dinosaur? That’s what more than 200 runners in the US did over the weekend. Shortly before the finish, things got really tight in the T-Rex race.
More than 200 people in inflatable dinosaur costumes are at a competition in Washington state to… ran a bet. According to the organizers, the largest T-Rex race in the world met from Friday to Sunday (local time) participants from all over the country in orange T-Rex costumes at the Emerald Downs racecourse in Auburn.
At the end of a tight final run at the T-Rex World Championship Races, Ocean Kim received the winner’s trophy. But it was a narrow victory: Since Kim crossed the finish line almost at the same time as two other participants, only an analysis on a large screen brought certainty.
