On the Go!

 (July 3, 2008) - Beginning July 9^th, ultra runner Lisa Smith-Batchen will begin a journey that few people have ever attempted. WIth eight Badwater ultramarathon titles, one Badwater Double and dozens of other ultra-endurance events under her belt, Lisa is ready for new challenges. And to utilize her natural-borne ability to help those in need!

In an effort to raise funds in support of AIDS Orphans, Lisa will depart from Las Vegas, Nevada, setting her sites on the Badwater Ultra marathon start point in Death Valley National Park. From there, she will compete with hundreds of world-class athletes in a 135 mile race across the desert and uphill, gaining over 14,000 feet in elevation. Finally, in October, Lisa will ride 508 miles by bike to conclude her race.
