Badwater Salton Sea

The Badwater Salton Sea is a challenging ultra running event held in Southern California's deserts and mountains. Taking place over two days, teams of two or three runners traverse 81 miles from Salton City to Palomar Mountain, with a total elevation gain of over 9,000 feet. The race features extreme weather conditions, including intense heat and cold, rugged terrain, and steep mountain ascents.

Participants must qualify by completing a difficult 50-mile race within the past year. The event emphasizes team endurance, requiring runners to stay together throughout the race, and offers divisions for all-male, all-female, and mixed teams.
