LBTV A Force for the community…
Celebrate British Science Week with a special race event at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, on Saturday March 16, 2019.
Race side by side with your ancestors in this epic journey through time in Run with the Ancestors, an exclusive, chip-timed event organised by the British Science Association in partnership with Eurotunnel.
The 10k race will scale down one million years of Britain’s history into a fascinating and unique soundtrack, provided via an immersive new running app created by Six to Start, the team behind Zombies, Run! If you’re looking for a shorter race, the 5k race will scale 500k years of the same story.
From the blustery climates of yesteryear dominated by Woolly Mammoths and sabre-toothed cats to the arrival of our first ancestors and their unique traditions, take a step back time and run through Britain’s remarkable history.
The 5k race is perfect for families and less seasoned runners while the 10k is best for more confident runners.
Please note: For the full, immersive experience all runners with a smart phone are encouraged to download the accompanying Run with the Ancestors app, which will be available to download for free during British Science Week.

Run with the Ancestors is organised by the British Science Association in partnership with Eurotunnel.
