Boliden (BDNNY) has announced plans to host the world's deepest marathon in its Garpenberg zinc mine, located 1,120 meters below sea level, on October 25, 2025. The unique event, organized in collaboration with ICMM and BecomingX, aims to raise $1 million for charity.

"We're incredibly proud to host this historic event at our Garpenberg mine. As one of the safest and most technologically advanced mines in the world, it's the perfect setting to show that mining can be both cutting-edge and purpose-driven. We look forward to welcoming the intrepid runners and shining a light on an industry that's critical to a sustainable future," says Mikael Staffas, President and CEO, Boliden.
In parallel with the continuation of regular operations, approximately 60 participants will run a distance of a total of 42.195 km, which will be partially illuminated. The participants, who are representatives from the mining and metals industry and civil society, come from at least 15 different countries and all have good running experience. Boliden has, through an internal procedure, given the opportunity for employees from all units of the group to participate. However, the public cannot participate in the event due to space reasons.
In connection with the marathon, the ambition is that two world records will be registered by Guinness World of Records. First, a new world record will be set for the world's deepest marathon and secondly, a world record will be set for organizing the same.
