“On October 25th 2025, 55 intrepid runners took on an extraordinary challenge: to run the deepest marathon ever run. Covering 42.2km within the Garpenberg Zinc Mine in Sweden, they descended to a staggering depth of 1,120 metres below sea level. No one had attempted a marathon at this depth before. Participants endured temperatures of 24°C and 72% humidity, in total silence and ran in complete darkness with only their head torches for light.”
Marathon runners are just the lemmings of the human race. “Let’s put ourselves into another torturous and dangerous situation! Who’s with me?” And then a tidal wave of humans jogs into the abyss.
