On Sunday, a unique race took place in a quiet suburb of US’s Auburn. What made the race special was that instead of sports gear, all the runners wore T-Rex costumes. The race, organised by Emerald Downs, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Washington, saw the participation of over 150 people who all donned the inflated Tyrannosaurus outfit. The T-Rex race was organised after a gap of three years. The video of the race, which showed people running in the 100-meter race, was shared on Twitter from the official account of Emerald Downs on Monday. Soon, the cheerful visuals of the race garnered over four lakh views. The T-Rex Derby 2022 at Emerald Downs It's been 3⃣ YEARS since the Emerald Downs T-Rex Race when viral around the world.
