DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, CA - JULY 16: The tallest U.S. peak outside of Alaska, 14,495-foot Mount Whitney, is seen in the far distance as Carlos Alberto Gomas De Sa from Portugal, a first-time competitor in the event, runs up Whitney Portal Road on his way to win the AdventurCORPS Badwater 135 ultra-marathon race on July 16, 2013 outside of Death Valley National Park, California. Billed as the toughest footrace in the world, the 36th annual Badwater 135 starts at Badwater Basin in Death Valley, 280 feet below sea level, where athletes begin a 135-mile non-stop run over three mountain ranges in extreme mid-summer desert heat to finish at 8,350 feet above sea level near Mount Whitney for a total cumulative vertical ascent of 13,000 feet. July 10 marked the 100-year anniversary of the all-time hottest world record temperature of 134 degrees, set in Death Valley where the average high in July is 116. A total of 96 competitors from 22 nations attempted the run which equals about five back-to-back marathons. Previous winners have completed all 135 miles in less than 24 hours.

It’s all about the full experience. And it’s going to be worth it.

What is World’s Toughest Race?

The series is a reboot of the original World’s Toughest Race series. Brought to us by the creator of Survivor and with Bear Grylls back as host, the show will see 66 contestants from all over the world pitted against each other in a non-stop race.

According to the official Eco-Challenge Fiji website, adventure athletes have competed in a non-stop race. It ran from Sept. 5 to 25, 2019, so all episodes had finished filming long before the coronavirus pandemic became an issue.

The contestants race in teams of four, with strict rules about the teams. They must all have mixed genders and an assistant crew member. The contestants then take part in a variety of activities, including mountain biking, climbing, white water rafting, and much more. Navigation is only with a map and compass and there are plenty of problems to solve along the way.

An entire team must stick together. Just one member dropping out or being injured for whatever reason will see the entire team disqualified. The best challengers are those who can work together as a team, and only one will cross the line first.

It’s certainly an exciting adventure. With a mix of Survivor and The Amazing Race, this is going to be a great show for the weekend.
