Adventure Corps Live Webcast
It looks like Adventure Corps have updated their webcast for the 2009 Furnace Creek 508. Obviously it isnt being updated until the race, but you can bookmark it to watch live results of the race, including time splits, photos and other race news. The folks at Adventure Corps were kind enough to include a link to our little site here. Thanks to Chris Kostman and the AC crew.
Here is a link to the Adventure Corps Webcast.
On October 3rd, 2009 Charlie “Water Dragon” Engle will be attempting a record breaking bicycle ride of 508 miles through the desert country of California, including the infamous Death Valley. On July 14th, 2009, Charlie completed the Badwater Ultramarathon in a personal best time of 25:45:11, coming in 4th overall. His performance at Badwater set him up for a run at the Death Valley Cup record; a contest of the best cummulative time between Badwater Ultramarathon and the Furnace Creek 508. The current record is set at 60:24:10, which would require Charlie to complete the Furnace Creek 508 in 34:39:59 or better.
Early in the morning of October 3rd, Charlie will embrace the challenge and embark on a potentially historic crossing of the desert country of California.
