Kick things off with a 5K run through the landscape, then stick around for hands-on archaeological adventures. After the race, you’ll step into the role of a researcher, tackling simple challenges inspired by real fieldwork. Explore how archaeologists find and study sites while uncovering clues from the past. It’s a fun, active way to connect with history and see how it’s protected for the future.
