HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Strataca Underground Salt Museum always has a wide variety of events and another is coming up next month.
The Luck of the Miner is scheduled for March 13. The race is a 5K cross-country style run 650 feet below the earth's surface in the salt mine.
Participants will need to wear a helmet and bring a light. The museum recommends a bike helmet. Helmets will be subject to approval by staff. Every participant will receive a T-shirt and bib. The first 300 runners to sign up are guaranteed a medal. No one under the age of 8 may run and anyone ages 8-18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Along with the 5K, the Boys and Girls Club will host a free 1-mile Leprechaun Dash underground for children. To register for the fun run, reach out to Strataca or the Boys and Girls Club.
