We regret to inform you that you have not been selected to compete in the 2011 Badwater Ultramarathon. This event has been an invitational race since its inception in 1987 and every year the organizers have had to make tough decisions as to who will compete. That was truer than ever this year, as we received a record number of applicants, the overwhelming majority of whom have very extensive credentials and submitted very comprehensive applications.

As you know, this event has experienced massive worldwide growth in athlete popularity and media interest over the past ten years. Thus, like many other premier endurance sports events, we are forced to limit the field through a selection process.

We encourage you to consider volunteering to crew and pace a competitor in the event this summer. Support crews are critical to the success of every entrant in this race. There are those planning to compete who would benefit immensely if you offered to crew for them. And while they would be incredibly grateful, you would learn a lot and would have another valuable credential to include on your application if you choose to apply for a future Badwater Ultramarathon. If this interests you, please use the the relevant section on our blog to post your availability to crew at the race in July:

We truly appreciate your interest in the Badwater Ultramarathon and salute you again for submitting your application. We wish you the best of luck for 2011 and beyond.
