A pinch of adrenaline for recreational runners!

The Miners’ Marathon is a unique event for all adrenaline lovers and recreational athletes.

The Miners’ Marathon will have runners face the region of Zasavje left, right, all around and underground. A half of the course will run on the surface of one of the historically most important coal-mining regions of Europe, while the other half will take place in the mine pits. Whether you choose the 10k, 20k or the 42k, you will get to run both in the pits and on the surface.

Miners’ Marathon helps preserving the mining tradition in the people of Zasavje. “The pits belong to us!” is the motto of this extraordinary event. They can shut down the mine but they can never take away coal-mining traditions from the people. Much like the Jamatlon course, the marathon presents an opportunity to honour the mining tradition in a new creative way. The Miners’ Marathon Runners will satisfy their running appetites with helmets, head-lamps, and a good pinch of adrenaline.

The Miners’ Marathon will run on Sunday, 29 May 2016.
