What is the dinosaur race in costumes?

15 Apr.,2024

 

On Sunday, a unique race took place in a quiet suburb of US’s Auburn. What made the race special was that instead of sports gear, all the runners wore T-Rex costumes.

The race, organised by Emerald Downs, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Washington, saw the participation of over 150 people who all donned the inflated Tyrannosaurus outfit. The T-Rex race was organised after a gap of three years.

The video of the race, which showed people running in the 100-meter race, was shared on Twitter from the official account of Emerald Downs on Monday. Soon, the cheerful visuals of the race garnered over four lakh views.

 

Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “This is the epitome of fun at the track!”. Another person remarked, “what’s absolutely killing me is the fact that they can’t see and they’re running into each other ”.

The race was held in two parts, one was for kids up to the age of 16 years and one was for adults. According to the website of Emerald Down, the winner of the kid’s race was Sebastian Davis, a 13-year-old from Silverdale in Washington. Hadley Lindsay, a 14-year-old from Eugene, came second. The winner of the adult race was Logan Kludsikofsky from Auburn.

This is not the first race in which participants competed in inflated dinosaur outfits. This July, the residents of Aomori, a town in Japan, organised a dinosaur race that took place at the Sunset Beach Asamushi.

Jurassic Park might have given us the most iconic T-Rex in pop culture history, but the genius who came up with the very popular, very silly T-Rex costume is responsible for the the funniest version of the prehistoric predator. It does not matter how many times I come across one of those absurd get-ups out in the wild or who is wearing it, they always make me laugh. The combination of the over-sized head swaying side-to-side with the sheer inability to control it in anyway is the best kind of stupid. The only thing better than seeing one is seeing two of them! And we are in luck; Emerald Downs thoroughbred racetrack in Auburn, Washington held a multi-person/multi-dino “T-Rex Race” recently. And there’s a video! It’s one of the dumbest and most wonderful things I have ever seen.

This video (that we came across at Gekkologie) was shared by the YouTube channel Optimistic. You can watch it over and over again to try and figure out the best technique. You’re running in a big dumb costume with a head you can’t control, so we’d rather embrace the absurdity of the entire situation. Just think: someone came up with this ridiculous idea, and then a bunch of willing people participated in it. These are our kind of people.

Of course, there is obviously some danger involved here; the complete wipe out of that T-Rex at around the seven-second mark proves it. Dressing up as an apex predator doesn’t give you the grace of one, especially when an actual dinosaur can control it’s neck while you are running around with the equivalent of a big plastic bag blurring your vision.

If a real T-Rex ran like this, that mirror scene in Jurassic Park wouldn’t have been nearly as scary. But it sure would have been funny.
