Experience the buzz of the Honeybee 5K in person!

Join us at the park on September 12 and complete your 5K along a course where ancient history and natural beauty meet. Run or walk through the park landscape, follow the turnaround at Duck Nest Trail, and pass behind Mound 28 as you make your way to the finish.

Participating in person means more than completing 3.1 miles - it's a chance to explore the park, celebrate alongside fellow supporters, visit the museum, and enjoy the excitement of event day. Best of all, your registration supports the park's Honey Project!
