Running on the Sun

Badwater, California, in Death Valley, is the hottest and lowest locale in the Western Hemisphere. Every July it hosts the "Badwater 135," a two-day, two-night, 135-mile marathon run that culminates at 8,400 feet at the Portals of Mt. Whitney. This film explains the complex motivations of a diverse group of 13 competitors from the 1999 run.
