Help Croix Reclaim his World Record

Help Croix Reclaim his World Record 

Death_Valley
  Opportunity for: Sponsor
Goal: Finish under 48 hrs
Location Start: Badwater Basin, CA, USA
Finish: Mt Whitney, CA, USA
Start date: Aug 4, 2026
End date: Aug 6, 2026
Duration/days: 2

“At 55, I’ll be the oldest person to ever complete a solo-self-contained Death Valley crossing. 
There’s no help. No crew. Not even shade. Just me and 146 miles with 120° heat. 

To be official, the run must happen in July or August when temps range from 110° – 134°F (44° – 56C). At night, it doesn’t get much cooler. Staying near 100°. Air humidity so dry, it hurts to breathe,” says Croix Sather about his new challenge, scheduled for August; exact date to be determined.

It’s not just about the record (beat current record by 9+ hours by finishing in under 48 hours). Croix will be documenting the entire journey:
the training, the preparation, the psychology of attempting the impossible at age 55.

Be part of this journey and help make it happen…
by becoming a founding sponsor who has been part of this story from the beginning.
Before the media picks it up. Before the book launches. Before the documentary drops.
