Final countdown before Silesia Runmageddon

A proper mining experience - with sludge, spoil tips, tunnels and pickaxe in hand – that’s what the JSW Silesia Runmageddon will be. The race will be held on 31 August and 1 September in the Szczygłowice Section of the Knurów-Szczygłowice mine.

Next weekend, Miners, Runmageddonners and newbies to this extreme obstacle race will put their abilities to the test by negotiating both well-known and liked structures prepared by the organizer and unique obstacles created from mining machinery and equipment available exclusively in the JSW Silesia Runmageddon.

The JSW Silesia Runmageddon is what Runmageddoners look forward for the whole year. The unrivalled atmosphere of this event attracts even those who are still not quite convinced because everyone, regardless of age, wants to experience this extreme mining adventure. On 31 August and 1 September, Runmageddon organizers, cooperating with Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, will offer this extraordinary event with a course running across the mine spoil tips. They will challenge you to test your strength and character not only on the familiar and liked structures like the “Multirig”, “Pole Dance”, “Movable Ladder” or “Tyreo”, but will also transport you to the mining world. Participants will start the Runmageddon with pickaxes in hand.  They will climb a digger, jump into a wagon full of sludge and run up and down spoil tips. They will have to negotiate, among others, carriages, sections, sludge carts, drums, cranes and a locomotive. During the JSW Silesia Runmageddon, those hungry for adventure and emotions, will face a mining tunnel with miner lights, beams through which they will have to squeeze wearing in a protection helmet. In this edition of the epic obstacle race there will be special tunnels which will momentarily take participants into the underground world.

The mining Runmageddon will ensure an unforgettable experience both for children, youths and adults. Youngsters aged 4-11 will give a go at a dedicated one-kilometer KIDS course spiked with 10 obstacles. Older children (aged 12-15) will undertake a two-kilometer challenge, which will be interspersed with 15 diversified obstacles. Adults and youths older than 16 (but only with the parent’s personal consent) will have a go at the INTRO course (3 km and 15+ obstacles) or REKRUT (6 km and 30+ obstacles). Anybody of age 18 years and over will be able to test their strength in the CLASSIC formula (12 km and 50+ obstacles) and a novelty – a 12h Race.
