Each July, the Badwater® 135 gathers 100 men and women from across the globe to run across Death Valley and up three mountain ranges to high on Mt. Whitney. It is widely considered the world’s toughest foot race. This year we have created the C135, a special edition C1 tailored to the challenge of Badwater® 135.

Ultralight, Ultra-Focused

Seen Through the Night

The Badwater® 135 covers 135 miles and has a time limit of 45 hours. With a start time late in the evening, running through at least one night on desert roads is guaranteed. Safety is paramount and athletes are obliged to make themselves seen, so the C135 incorporates a highly reflective coating on the midsole to enhance visibility for safer racing beyond sunset.

Comfort for Days

The TUNEDFIT™ Dual Lacing System offers separately customizable fit for the forefoot and midfoot. Because we know that in the pursuit of distance, feet can swell and change shape, especially in a race with temperature swings as extreme as Badwater® 135, having a shoe that can adapt to those changes on the fly can be the difference between minor discomfort and injury.
