About the T-Rex World Championships
Animals Fish Insect & Birds , United States
Ends: Aug 16, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Emerald Downs, a suburban Seattle venue known for live horse racing, transforms into a prehistoric battleground in late August. Over 200 people donning inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costumes run down the race track for the annual T-Rex World Championships.
The spectacle began in 2017 as a Tri-Guard Pest Control team-building outing. The 2023 races were dedicated to Terry Richards, Tri-Guard's CEO, who died in a small plane crash earlier in the year. Tri-Guard had 40 employees participating in the races.
The T-Rex World Championships attracted participants from various states, including Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Louisiana, Oregon, California, and Idaho. Eight heat winners qualified for the Championship, reflecting the national appeal of an event as whimsical as it is competitive.
The actual T. rex, which roamed Earth between 65 million and 67 million years ago, remains a subject of scientific study and public fascination, thanks partly to Hollywood's portrayal in the "Jurassic Park" franchise. However, the inflatable-costumed variant is proving to be a thrilling draw at Emerald Downs, where the spirit of competition meets a dash of the fantastical. Whether for team-building or straightforward enjoyment, the T-Rex World Championships has found its place in the contemporary cultural landscape, turning an ordinary track into a theater of dinosaur delight.
