Universal Studios Hollywood's “Jurassic World—The Ride” Inspires 5K And 10K Running Marathons
On the heels of the successful launch of its new mega attraction, "Jurassic World-The Ride," Universal Studios Hollywood kicks off its next Running Universal program with the JURASSIC WORLD Run. The two-day event begins on Saturday, November 16 with a 5K, along with the all-new 1K Kids' Raptor Run, and continues on Sunday, November 17 with the first-ever 10K run.
To experience the ultimate "runner's high," participants can register with the Play All Day package, which invites JURASSIC WORLD fans to run it, then ride it.
On your mark, get set, go: the JURASSIC WORLD Run takes fitness buffs, runners and walkers alike (of all fitness levels) on 5K and all-new 10K run, both geared towards guests ages 5-years and older, while the all-new Kids' 1K Raptor Run targets those between the ages of 4-years and 12-years.
All participants will receive a collectable Finisher medal; those who complete the 5K and 10K runs will receive an exclusive Challenge medal. The JURASSIC WORLD Run will conclude at the Universal CityWalk finish line and feature a lively celebration at the 5 Towers Stage.
As part of the event, participants will venture through areas of the new thrill ride, including the iconic JURASSIC WORLD arches. As guests wind their way through the historic movie set backlot, they will also have the unique opportunity to enjoy a series of fun photo ops set up along the way, including JURASSIC film props, and one with Blue, the beloved Velociraptor from the JURASSIC WORLD movies.
The JURASSIC WORLD 5K Run begins at 6 a.m. on Saturday, November 16, followed by the Kids' 1K Raptor Run at 7:30 a.m. The program begins at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 17.

The JURASSIC WORLD Run continues Universal Studios Hollywood's "Running Universal" series, which launched with the sold-out Minion Run in May 2019. These unique runs offer participants unprecedented access to sprint their way through Universal Studios Hollywood and parts of Universal Studios' historic backlot, made famous in more than 8,000 movies and television shows.
