Gerald Tabios (born September 12, 1969) is a Filipino long-distance runner and Ultramarathon runner.[4][3][5] Among his most notable races in the United States is the Badwater Ultramarathon.[6] This is an annual race that stretches 135 miles through Death Valley, California in July and ends after a steep climb of Mount Whitney. In the world of Ultramarathons this race, where temperatures often reach 130 °F, is frequently coined "The Toughest Foot Race in the World."[7] Tabios is a 7-time Badwater 135 finisher.[8][9][10][11][12]
