Only for the truly insane, the 135 mile course from Badwater (elevation -282 feet) to the Mt. Whitney trailhead (elevation 8360 feet) is billed as the world's toughest race. Adding to the difficulty, the race is held annually during July, the hottest month of the year. The field is invitation-only and limited in size, but annually about 100 people toe the starting line, and 1-2 days later, after crossing two mountain ranges, 60-80% percent of those who start arrive battered, burned, and exhausted at the finish line.
