They haven't been posted yet. I would expect the first two weeks of July though.

You can run with the big dogs, or you can sit on the porch and bark.

I'm guessing maybe July 10th, but that's only a guess. I'm thinking they'll avoid doing it on the 4th of July holiday, so it would make sense to do it the next week. Only speculation, though.

Just got the email today:

The next edition of the world's toughest foot race will take place July 24-26, 2006. The application period, for those seeking an invitation to compete, will take place January 3-24, 2006. So if you hope to race in July, you must apply ONLY between Jan 3-24. Stay tuned to http://www.badwater.com for all the info about the 2006 race and how to apply!

Cheers,

Now that the dates for the "official" Badwater are out, any idea as to when the "unofficial" crossing will take place? Just in case I don't get in.

Several people have talked about starting July 1st. I haven't heard any other dates mentioned.
(We should take this discussion down to the "calendar" section.)
