Find active fun for all the family with our Dino T-Reks trails!

 

The Choose How You Move team are digging up something very exciting for the summer holidays… will you join our exploration?

 

Has your school joined our creative creature competition?

We’ve enlisted the help of our intrepid explorers in schools across the county to sketch their dinosaurs travelling actively or sustainably for our Dino T-Reks trails. They can draw anything they want: a stegosaurus on a scooter, or a brontosaurus on a bike. A new species of dinosaurs might be discovered entirely!

The competition closed on 11 May 2025, and the schoolchildren’s drawings have been submitted by their schools. These prehistoric prowlers have been taken to QuestR for careful cataloguing – to be unleashed into the (Jurassic) parks of Leicestershire!

 

 

Dino T-Reks: Choose How You Move’s newest family-friendly competition

Throughout the summer holidays, children and families will be able to spot these lively lizards in the local parks of Leicestershire. Go hunting for dinosaurs and enjoy all the benefits of going to the park together this summer: a pleasant environment, getting exercise, and quality time together.

Plus, by entering our competition you’ll be in with a chance of winning a goody bag of prizes!

How will it work?

You can go to any, or all, of the parks listed! Just follow our guide to track these travelling pterodactyls:

  1. Bring a trusty dino tracking device (i.e. a smartphone).
  2. Look out for up to eight dinosaurs by enjoying your walk along the trail.
  3. Scan the QR code with your phone. This will then log it onto your homepage. (Read more about how your data will be used in our Fair Processing Notice.)
  4. Log all the dinosaurs on your trail homepage to spell a word.
  5. Enter the correct word into the competition section of the webpage to be in with a chance to win a prize!
