Badwater 135: The Race from Hell to Heaven 🏔️💀 [y6Sh6FqT7FZ]

It is a geographic anomaly that creates the toughest footrace on Earth. Bonus Fact: The proximity of these two extremes is due to the unique geology of the Great Basin. The Earth's crust here is being pulled apart, creating massive fault-block mountains (Whitney) right next to sinking valleys (Death Valley). The Badwater 135 race takes advantage of this by forcing runners to endure temperatures up to 130°F (54°C) in the valley before climbing over two mountain ranges to finish at the Whitney Portal. It is widely considered the hardest footrace in the world.
