10 Weeks to Go: 135 Miles Through Hell: David Bone and the Badwater Challenge

David Bone has run some of the toughest races in the world, including Badwater 135, a 135-mile ultramarathon across Death Valley in 47°C heat. In this episode, we chat about how he got into running, what it takes to train for a race like Badwater, and how crew, mindset, and even a sense of humor can make or break you. He also shares the mission behind Camino Ultra, thoughts on gear sustainability, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just tickle the leaves and keep moving forward. An episode full of wild stories, useful lessons, and a cautionary warning about the use of Vaseline.Camino UltraBadwater 135We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible.

Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line. This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.Want More? Want to get involved in Project Salt Run?
