We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to many people from around the world who have raced from Badwater to Mt. Whitney over the past twenty-some years. Whether in solo efforts, out-and-backs, the original race in 1987, or as part of the races that Hi-Tec Sports USA produced from 1988 through 1999, an immeasurable quantity of sweat, effort, and commitment has created a legacy that we are honored to continue. Below you can read about the original pioneers, Al Arnold in 1977 and Jay Birmingham in 1981, the first race on the course, held in 1987, as well as the results from all of the Hi-Tec races.
1999 Race (AM Start)
42 starters, 33 finishers (78%).
