As sports enthusiasts, we would like to introduce you to the world's toughest run: Badwater Ultramarathon.
Its impressive distance from 217kmhis cumulative ascent of 3,962m and its unbelievable temperatures make the Badwater the hardest race in the world.
The race takes place in July when the temperature is around 70 degrees. It is about running in a natural sauna while braving the burning wind that hits you in the face. And yet, the participants are more and more numerous each year!
Motivation is far from the only thing condition required to be able to participate. To be a competitor, you must have, in the last two years completed at least three 160km races or more. Also, you must demonstrate your ability to get used to the heat.
In order to meet these criteria, the athletes use their imagination. To cope with the extreme heat, two-time finalist Ferg Hawke trained to run in a 54-degree solarium.
Each year, it is on average 100 people representative 20 countries who are embarking on the Badwater Ultramarthon adventure. The women are present, even if they are a minority, they still represent 30% of runners.
You are probably wondering what the prize is for this challenge? The answer in 2 words: a medal and a belt buckle (if you finish the race in 48 hours!). So it's not the prize that will push you to surpass yourself, but the merit of having completed one of the the world's greatest physical endurance challenges.
