Organisers of T-Fest are reminding islanders that this is the final chance to secure a spot in the world’s largest (unofficial) T-Rex race.
Taking place on Saturday, August 30, T-Fest promises a full day of family fun, community spirit, and dinosaur-sized entertainment.
The highlight of the festival will see hundreds of people don inflatable T-Rex suits and dash across Peel in an unforgettable spectacle.
The T-Rex adults’ race begins at 2pm, followed by the ever-popular children’s race shortly after.
Join The Stampede
Festivalgoers can cheer on the ’World Brownie Mile Championships’ sponsored by Roots and enjoy a wide choice of local food and drink stalls, try their hand at family games and activities, and dance into the evening with a special guest set from DJ Trex.
Most importantly, every roar, stomp and sprint will help raise money for two of the island’s most vital causes.
T-Fest forms part of Expedition Limitless 2026, a two-year community fundraising effort aiming to raise £200,000 in support of The Children’s Centre and Rebecca House Children’s Hospice.
For Charity
By signing up to race, participants aren’t just joining in the fun, they’re helping to make a real difference to children and families in the Isle of Man.
Phil Quirk, organiser of Expedition Limitless and T-Fest, said: “The T-Rex Run was one of the island’s most joyful events last year, and this year is set to be even bigger.
“We can’t wait to see Peel filled with roaring dinos. Places are filling fast, and this is your last chance to sign up, so if you’ve ever dreamed of racing in a T-Rex costume (and who hasn’t!), now’s the time to make it happen.
“Not only will you have a brilliant day, but you’ll also be supporting two incredible charities.”
