In October 2025, 45 intrepid runners will take on an extraordinary challenge: to run the deepest marathon ever run. Covering 42.2km within Boliden's Garpenberg Mine in Sweden, they will descend to a staggering depth of 1,120 metres below sea level, aiming to set a new world record and raise $1m for charity.

A 15-day expedition to climb the highest volcano in the world at 6,893m. As Chile's highest mountain, and the second highest outside of the Himalayas, our Ojos del Salado expedition is designed to push your limits, build resilience, and challenge you to reach altitudes seldom achieved by humans.
“I’ve learnt the most important lessons of my life through adventure. I’ve learnt the power of teams, leadership, respect, humility and the never give up spirit.”
BecomingX works with some of the world’s most successful companies to develop high-performing employees. The leaders. The driven. The resilient. Our expeditions take people out of their professional environments and into some of the world’s most awe-inspiring and challenging locations - experiences designed to forge leadership, teamwork, and resilience.
Suitable for employees at all levels - from emerging talent to seasoned executives - our expeditions aim to challenge people’s perceived limits. Participants develop critical skills such as decision-making under pressure, resilience, problem-solving, and leading diverse teams through adversity. These experiences cultivate adaptability, mental toughness, and the ability to perform under extreme conditions - lessons that translate directly into the workplace.
Each expedition is designed and led by world-class guides and leadership coaches, who have conquered some of the toughest challenges on Earth. Through coaching, personal reflection, and structured debriefs, employees return not just inspired but fundamentally transformed, ready to elevate their impact within their teams and organisations.
Success isn’t just about what happens in the office - it’s built in the moments of adversity, perseverance, and triumph. BecomingX expeditions don’t just take people to extraordinary places; they bring out the extraordinary in people.
“The BecomingX expedition to Kilimanjaro was one of the most formative experiences of my life. The team was extraordinary and I can honestly say this is the best team building event I have ever done. I learned so much about myself and working with others - it was epic from start to finish.”
BecomingX partners with Adventure Alternative, an award-winning adventure travel company who have been delivering exceptional experiences for over 30 years. Our expeditions are led by highly experienced staff from both companies, who work with participants in the months leading up to the expedition to build the skills and confidence needed to thrive.
Every expedition we do considers how we can deliver an exceptional experience for both participants and local communities. All of our trips employ local staff, who are highly trained and have been working with international visitors for decades. Where possible, we also encourage expeditions to be joined by local beneficiaries of our projects, helping support their personal development whilst also providing participants with a unique experience to learn more about the local way of life.
BecomingX is a B Corporation, certified to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance. We offset twice the amount of emissions from our expeditions on the ground. We also offer the option to offset all flights to ensure air travel is carbon positive, and ground travel is carefully planned to have the least impact on the environment possible, while supporting local businesses and leaving no trace behind.
We are proudly different. As a B Corporation, we aim to deliver experiences that are life changing, not just for our participants, but for the communities that we visit. Adventure Alternative has won numerous awards for responsible tourism and invests considerably in the communities in which it operates.
Together, we reinvest profits into our charitable Foundations, directly employ local staff and, where possible, offer participants the opportunity to have local beneficiaries to join expeditions, allowing lifelong relationships to form whilst building a deeper understanding of the local communities we visit.

A 10-day expedition designed to push your limits, build resilience, and develop leadership skills in one of the world’s most awe-inspiring environments. You will trek through multiple ecosystems, from lush rainforest to alpine desert, as you ascend Kilimanjaro (5,895m) - the highest freestanding mountain on Earth and one of the Seven Summits.
No one has attempted a marathon at this depth before. Participants will endure temperatures of up to 30°c and will be running in total silence and complete darkness with only their head torches for light.
This historic endeavour captures the spirit of exploration and human resilience, and proves that limits can always be redefined. From the depths of the earth, these trailblazers will push beyond physical and mental boundaries to make history in one of the most extreme environments imaginable.
Join BecomingX's toughest expedition - designed to challenge your resilience, build confidence, and develop leadership skills in one of the world’s most extreme environments. You will journey across the Atacama Desert and ascend Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano on Earth at 6,893m - facing harsh terrain, thin air, and intense conditions that demand teamwork, determination, and mental strength.
