The Road ID mission is two-fold: One, to educate outdoor enthusiasts about the importance of wearing ID. Two, to provide these athletes with innovative identification products that they will want to include as part of their gear.

For 2024, we are thrilled to announce that Road ID will be offering an exclusive Badwater 135 edition band and ID for all participants this year!

Created in collaboration with race director Chris Kostman, this special edition features the topography of the course as it winds through the breathtaking landscape from Badwater Basin across Death Valley to Mount Whitney.

We hope that this personalized band and ID will provide peace of mind and motivation as you embark on your 135-mile journey, and also serve as a meaningful keepsake.
