Badwater 135 - Into the Furnace

The Badwater 135 isn't just one of the toughest ultramarathons on Earth - it’s the hottest footrace ever created. Every July, a small group of runners step into Death Valley, where blistering temperatures, endless miles, and unforgiving terrain push the limits of human endurance. It's a race where survival is never guaranteed and your odds of finishing are 50/50.

In this episode of Durare we explore the remarkable origins of this legendary event, uncover the stories that shaped its history, and reveal what it truly takes to conquer 135 miles across the extreme landscape of Death Valley before reaching the finish line on the slopes of Mount Whitney.
