NOTE: Al Arnold is the Neil Armstrong and Edmund Hillary of ultramarathons, the first to run between Badwater and Mount Whitney, back in 1977, after two failed attempts in 1974 and 1975. He became the first inductee into the Badwater Hall of Fame in 2002, on the 25th anniversary of his historic run, and remains a staunch friend and fan of the race. He lives in Walnut Creek, CA and is 87 years old. His birthday is February 4, 1928. He can be reached by email at alarnold1977@
msn.com and loves hearing from fellow ultrarunners. His essays are archived on the Badwater.com website. THANK YOU, SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS

The Meaning
of Badwater
The word BADWATER means strength, bravery & passion. —Michelle Barton
It’s more than just a place to me for sure. It’s more of a mindset that lives with you throughout the year, whether you’re training for the event or not. Just to walk around and know in your mind you have been there and survived makes you hold your head a little higher. Those who have experienced it know a bond that no other runner will ever know.
—Tony Clark
Courage, guts, perseverance despite all odds. —John Radich
To me, the name BADWATER is a question. How much are you ready to give? How much are you willing to commit? How much training, how much suffering and hurt will you push through? How badly do you want it? How do you give back? Where is your limit? It is a question and a challenge. It is a title for the toughest. It is a surname for an XOWUDUXQQLQJIDPLO\%$':$7(5ßLV
the feeling of excitement in your chest caught at the thought of adventure. %$':$7(5ßLVWKHSDLQRIEOLVWHUVDQG
the joy of triumph. The name and brand of %$':$7(5ßKROGPDQ\PHDQLQJVIRUPH
all of which make me exuberant to have participated in the past, and excited to participate in whatever form in the future! —Breanna Cornell
Strength, endurance, resilience and determination. —Rodrigo Pereira Reinaldo de Souza
Badwater is so much more than a race, transcending running, and even athletic competition. —Greg Pressler
The name to me means “tough,” “grit,” ‘”determination.” The brand is known around the world and the athletes involved are a rare breed. —Jared Fetterolf
Badwater is not just a race to me, it’s a way of life. It’s not only what we do out on the course, but more importantly how that transpires into everyday life. The Badwater experience is an opportunity to take all that we learn out there and make the world a better place one step at a time. We owe it to the experience to make a difference.
—Eric Gelber It simply means the best of the best from around the world. It means tough races that bring the toughest competitors WRJHWKHUWREDWWOHLWRXWDW¿UVWFODVV

—Andrea Kooiman
Badwater represents the crux of human potential meeting the challenges of austere conditions. — Mosi Smith
BADWATER = Relentless Forward Progress despite overwhelming circumstances. It’s the perfect metaphor for the imperfections of life that we all end up encountering. — Jason Romero
To me, it means many things. It means letting your actions speak for you, both in what you aspire to be and how you help others realize their own dreams. It’s a family of individuals who have the highest level of competitive spirit, but at the same time encourage and pull for each other to overcome any obstacle. It’s an inner drive that even those with no athletic hopes or dreams are inspired by.
—Pete Kostelnick
Badwater is synonymous with world-­
class sportsmanship, exploration, being the test of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the ultimate challenge of adventurers from around the globe. —Kimani Long
Badwater to me is more than a race or a course. It’s a state of mind. It’s about testing yourself to go beyond what people perceive or think is possible and striving to be the best that you can be. It’s about a community that develops where you help your fellow competitor when you can, and get just as much satisfaction as seeing them succeed as you do your own.
—Steve Maliszewski
The term ‘’Badwater’’ is emblematic of the epitome, the zenith, the very top of endurance challenges, a symbol of the toughest people doing the toughest event on the planet. -­ Face the mon-­
ster, the desert, the heat, the hills, and make them your own.
—Mandy Miller
The name Badwater represents the ‘’best of the best’’ in sport. —John Wog

“I would like to thank Chris Kostman and the rest of the management of Badwater 135. This event really changed my life. I am so blessed to have found an event that I was able to succeed at. I love Death Valley and its beauty and feel so blessed to have been able to experience it that way I did, WKDQNVWRWKH%DGZDWHUWHDP,XQGHUVWDQGKRZGLI¿FXOWLWLVWR

governmental entities. Chris and his team have done a great job at it. I am so happy that Chris worked so hard to get the original course back.
“It has been such a thrill and pleasure running with all the different runners over the past 13 years. Can’t believe it has been this long. I really want to do the run starting at night. This year I was lucky enough -­ or unlucky -­ to get drawn in both Western States and Hardrock, so I am not sure I can do Badwater also. I hope to return next year.
“Lastly I want to thank my Husband Jim, my kids, and all of my crew for the support over all of these years. Truly I could not do it without every one of them.” 3KRWRE\/XLV(VFREDU%DGZDWHU

cold water than warm water.
The Nathan 18 oz. SpeedDrawPlus Insulated handheld keeps fluids colder, longer.
Drinking cold fluids throughout a run lowers body temperature and perceived effort,

was I uncomfortable, never did I wish that things were any different, pine for anywhere else, or look at what was happening and desire something different. It all just was, as it was. A beautiful thing! A mindset I feel lucky to have discovered, as wide open as the land itself.” —Andy Wellman, USA

Everything good about trail running: cultural exploration, adventure, challenging oneself, and the camaraderie that comes from multi-­day races, was present in huge quantities. Similarly to a great book, or amazing album, I could bore my friends to GHDWKE\EHJJLQJWKHPWRH[SHULHQFHWKH0XVWDQJ7UDLO5DFHIRU
themselves.” —Matt Moroz, UK
“Looking back now at the experience, I feel as if the race became a kind of nine day meditation. When I try to remember what I thought about in Mustang, I realize that I really didn’t think about a whole lot of anything. Expressed another way, perhaps I thought and talked about a lot, but those things lingered only for the present moment, and then were gone. There are plenty of things I remember: the wide open sky, the snowy peaks above the eroded, haunting landscape, the artwork in the caves and monasteries, the exceedingly friendly local people encountered along the way, the conversations with my new friends. I realize now that I was living almost entirely in the moment, and more than that, I was just noticing and absorbing everything as it happened without judgment. It seems as if nothing was better or worse than anything else. I had virtually no expectations going into this race, and so there was nothing to compare what actually happened with. The routine day in and day out was so similar: everything became either running, recovering, or enjoying the company of others and exploring new towns, places, or spiritual traditions while doing one of these two things. Never “I feared disappointment. Mustang is undoubtedly a hyped destination ... but I was blown away by the landscape, the villages, the trails, and the company. Apparently Mustang is much more powerful than any hype effect.” —Roger Henke, Netherlands
“This race is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You will experience adventure in an ecosystem unlike anywhere else on the planet—
through high red desert, dramatic canyons, villages of twelve households, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri looming in the background. You will be challenged by the running and the altitude and nurtured by the views and the wonderful people with whom you’re experiencing these timeless communities. An absolute must do.” —Kathryn Sall, USA
