Race Information
Are you a child of the night? Are you longing for the warm embrace of a dark cavern? Do you love coal and mining history? You are in luck!
Welcome to The Dark – a loop race in the Bellevue Underground Mine (BUM). The mine shaft is 250m long with a 1% grade, so each loop is 500m. Competitors will run until they cannot run anymore within their 6, 12, or 24-hour time limit. The goal is to complete as many laps to the end of the shaft in that period. The race is limited to 100 competitors due to the tight quarters. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Bellevue Underground Mine.
