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 for an epic virtual Badwater race?
AdventureCORPS® – the organizers of the iconic worldwide series of Badwater® races – are pleased to announce the return of The World's Toughest Virtual Race, BADWATER 267 VR Elite! In this race, competitors will 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 (430km.) These three events comprise the legendary Badwater Ultra Cup, and Badwater 267 VR Elite!
