What to expect
From the organizer
BADWATER: It’s a frame of mind, a global family of horizon-chasers, and a statement to the world about priorities and preconceived notions of what is possible. Badwater is a way of life! Are you ready to kick off the New Year with an authentic, original Badwater experience?
AdventureCORPS® – the organizers of the iconic worldwide series of Badwater® races – are pleased to offer the BADWATER 267 VR in which competitors virtually and sequentially traverse the routes of all three Badwater® races – the 51-mile Badwater Cape Fear, the 81-mile Badwater Salton Sea, and the 135-mile Badwater 135 – for a total of 267 miles, or 430km. These three events comprise the legendary Badwater Ultra Cup - and Badwater 267 VR! Start off the New Year with this new challenge and lay the ultimate foundation for your best year yet!
During this challenge, you will complete 267 miles (430km) during the month of January. You have 31 days to complete 267 miles and you can do them anywhere you want, including indoors. There is also a multi-sport division for those who want to combine different sports (including cycling swimming, paddle sports, cross-country and downhill skiing, skateboarding, and more; see below.) Participation is mostly* based on the “honor system,” but there is a highly recommended - and very popular - Private Strava Club to bring everyone together. You can also sync your Strava account with your RunSignUp page so that all your activities automatically post here to RunSignUp.
* All participants in the top ten on the leaderboard - at any point during the whole month - MUST provide a high level of transparency. Additionally, ALL runs completed on a treadmill must be verified with a photo of the screen at the conclusion of the run. (Measuring distances on a treadmill with a non-synced GPS watch has proven to be an issue in the past.)
Go at your own pace, as often or as long as you want, wherever you live, anywhere on the planet!
Guidelines:
• Running Division: You must complete all 267 miles on foot: This includes Walking, Hiking, Snowshoeing, and Treadmill, whether indoors or outdoors, covering 267 miles (430km) in 31 days. This is the Running Division, in which ONLY these bipedal activities may be counted. Also Note: In the Strava app, always log any of these activities as "Running" so that they appear on the club leaderboard.
