Up to 500 fun runners dressed in T-Rex outfits will be roaring into action on Douglas Promenade next month to raise funds for Manx Mencap.
Organisers of the unique spectacle on Saturday September 14 are aiming to set an unofficial world record for the most runners dressed in the dinosaur costumes.
The 2.5km event – titled the Jurassic Sprint: The T-Rex Thunder Run – is organised by Expedition Limitless in partnership with Manx Mencap, plus generous support from headline sponsor, Capital International Group, and the Z Zurich Foundation.

The Jurassic Sprint will be the grand finale of Expedition Limitless’ 2024 fundraising efforts for Manx Mencap. It promises to be a fantastic, fun day for all ages.
The Expedition Limitless team say they are thrilled to organise this one-of-a-kind event.
Phil Quirk, founder of Expedition Limitless, said: “We wanted to create something memorable and impactful for the community and our charity partner, Manx Mencap. The T-Rex Thunder Run is a perfect blend of fun and philanthropy.”
Manx Mencap, the beneficiary of this event, is equally excited. Sue Byrne, Director of Manx Mencap, added: “This event is a fantastic way to raise awareness and funds for our cause. The community’s support means the world to us, and we are delighted to see such a fun and creative fundraising initiative.”
