For children age 6 and older, they are welcome to run on their own or with a registered Dino-Chaperone.
Having a Dino-Chaperone is optional.

Rain or Shine: Our Event Policy
We know how much work goes into getting the whole family ready for race day! Please keep these details in mind as you plan:
Weather: Our events happen rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather!
Cancellations: If we are forced to cancel an event (following Athletics Ontario guidelines), don't worry—your registration isn't lost. You’ll be able to transfer your spot to any other Dino Run event in 2026 or 2027.
Refunds: Because we pay for most of our event costs (like medals, shirts, and permits) well in advance, we are unable to offer cash refunds.
