Lone Pine, CA, July 15. Jorge Pacheco of Los Angeles held off Akos Konya of Oceanside,
California to win the 2008 Badwater Ultra. Pacheco’s time of 23:20:16 was the second fastest

Jamie Donaldson of Littleton, Colorado broke the women’s course record, winning in a time
of 26:51:33. Pam Reed of Tucson, Arizona had held the previous course record, with a
clocking of 27:56:47 in 2002. Reed finished second, also under the old record but some 51
