Zinkgruvan - Run of Mine

Zinkgruvan Run of Mine is a unique underground running event. On Saturday, 5 September 2026, we will stop all mine traffic and invite runners to experience our operations in a completely unique way.

The race starts at the Knalla Mine Museum, and two kilometres later participants head underground. The underground road has a 15% incline. The turning point is located at the 350‑metre level, from where the route climbs back up to the surface. The running event is organized together with the ski club Zinkgruvans IF, and the proceeds from the registrations go to the club’s important activities for children and youth.

Registration

Registration will open shortly. Keep an eye out here and on Boliden Zinkgruvan’s social media channels for the opening date.
