The world's toughest footrace, Badwater Ultramarathon, starts Monday. The 135 mile races begins at the Badwater Basin in California's Death Valley and ends at Whitney Portal. Badwater conditions are very extreme since the ultra marathon takes place in July. Temperatures can reach over 120 degrees. All runners must finish the 135 course in 48 hours.Looking over the entry list, I recognized a couple of runners. The first runner is Marshall Ulrich. I read and enjoyed his book Running on Empty. The other two runners are Brenda Carawan and Jennifer Vogel. I'm familiar with Brenda and Jennifer because I read their blogs and follow them on twitter. Over the course of the race, I will be following their progress.
According to the Badwater
website, they will have live updates from the race. The live webcast can be found here. I will also be following the twitter feed.
