Everybody Chase the Dinosaur
When? 14 February 2026
Where? Weymouth
Roarsome fun!
Weymouth's Dinosaur week is an exciting celebration of family fun themed around prehistoric life!
Last year, We Are Weymouth hosted the second ‘Chase the Dinosaur’ event, as part of 'Dino Week' raising funds for the Will Mackaness Trust and kicking off the February half term in true Jurassic style.
Runners raised double its £500 donation in 2024 giving over £1000 to the trust in 2025. Hundreds turned up on the beach to watch the Dino's in action. There were over 150 runners and 30 pre-schoolers, all making the most of the glorious February sunshine.
This year we are hoping the event will be our biggest yet, in aid of this great local charity. We are supported by D of E volunteers from Wey Valley Academy to adjudicate and ensure the smooth running of the event.
Everyone welcome - as it's the taking part in this fun event that matters most. Laughs guaranteed!!
