All the runners have to walk up the steep grade as they have been moving without a break since they started at Badwater the Previous day. The race is never postponed or delayed as the Obstacles( heat,wind,hills,distance,non stop, etc...)make Badwater to Whitney the hardest race in the world. Runners come from all over the world to compete in this event and the logistics and planning are very difficult. The smoke added to the race, a force of nature that I found enjoyable but did bother a few. See www.badwaterultra.com for more
