T-Rex World Championship Races at Emerald Downs
Emerald Downs invites you to unleash your inner dinosaur at the highly anticipated T-Rex World Championship Races! Taking place on August 17th, this fan-favorite event transforms our horse racing track into a prehistoric playground as participants don inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costumes and race to the finish line.
What began in 2017 as a fun local team-building activity for TriGuard Pest Control has grown into an exciting annual tradition. Last year’s race saw over 200 competitors, with Ocean Kim from Kailua, Hawaii, taking the top spot in a thrilling photo finish. Colton Winegar of Boise, Idaho, and Seth Hirschi of Renton followed closely behind.
