DIGGING DEEP: A total of 57 runners from 18 countries, including South Africa, completed the world’s deepest marathon last month. Held 1 120 m below sea level in Boliden’s Garpenberg zinc mine in Sweden, runners had to endure high humidity, temperatures of up to 30°C, gravel floors and almost complete darkness. To reach the full marathon distance, participants completed 11 laps of a 3.84 km underground tunnel.
