You run 135 miles non-stop on highway from Badwater Basin in Death Valley, 280 feet below sea level, to Whitney Portal at 8,300 feet. The route crosses three mountain ranges with about 14,600 feet of cumulative ascent and 6,100 feet of descent, passing Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells, Panamint Springs and Lone Pine. Each runner races with a support crew, and the time limit is 45 hours. The exact route depends on permits from several agencies and may not be confirmed until race week. Entry is by application, and the organiser selects the field.
