SUN PRECAUTIONS 2000 BADWATER ULTRAMARATHON
A classic race is reborn as an epic international battlefield
By Chris Kostman, originally published in Ultra
Runing Magazine, October 2000
Death Valley, CA - Sixty-nine runners from a dozen
countries ran 135 miles non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney
on July 27-29 in the annual Sun Precautions Badwater Ultramarathon.
The international field of athletes, ages 24 to 69 (12 women and
57 men), ran a blistering 135 miles through temperatures up to
128F°. The Badwater course covers three mountain ranges for
a total of 13,000 of vertical ascent and 4,700 of
descent. It is arguably the most demanding, extreme, and prestigious
ultramarathon in the world |
