Universal Studios Hollywood and Jurassic World 5k update

Picture
Yesterday we headed out to Universal Studios Hollywood to cover the Jurassic World 5k (we promise, one of these times we'll actually run the race) and of course stayed after a bit to do a park update. 

Lots of activity at the park as they prepare for the Holidays and Grinchmas, as well as Secret Life of Pets and Super Nintendo World. 

Let's head in!!

Jurassic World 5k

Something truly magical about heading into a theme park before it even opens.

It was in the low 50's and perfect at the start of the race. It got up to the 90's later in the day. Winter in SoCal!! 
Picture
They used the digital boards to help the runners which was awesome. 
Picture
And of course, no theme park race would be complete without characters!! 
Picture
Lots of runners heading down to the lower lot. Be sure to check out our highlight video too.

Congrats runners!! We didn't hear that the T-Rex caught any of you, so that's good.
