• The Best Throwback Races for Pop-Culture Junkies (outsideonline.com) — Ogden runners can look ahead to the Jurassic Run 5K on June 26, 2027, weaving through the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park and nearby Big Dee Sports Park with surprise dinosaur “chase” moments. The national roundup highlights this family-friendly evening race’s modest hills, cooler 7 p.m. start, and themed finish line celebration among life-sized prehistoric creatures. 
• Changing federal guidance could limit Utahns' access to fentanyl test strips (fox13now.com) — Ogden and Weber County now rely on privately funded harm-reduction vending machines for free naloxone and fentanyl test strips, even as new federal rules threaten statewide access to those strips. Local and state health leaders warn that losing federal funding could sharply reduce availability of this overdose-prevention tool, while urging alternative funding so residents can keep testing drugs and staying alive long enough to seek treatment.
