This is a virtual challenge built around the combined routes of three Badwater races, completed wherever you are over the course of a month. You can run, walk, hike, snowshoe, or use a treadmill for the running division, or mix in cycling, swimming, skiing, and other activities in the multi-sport division. Progress is tracked through a private Strava club, and treadmill runs require a screen photo for verification.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Badwater 267 VR has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 267 Miles field finished slower than 43:19:55, and the last recorded finisher came in around 55:26:05, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 226 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 267 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 267 Miles winner ran 52:15 while the median finisher took 43:19:55. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
