In a Halloween-store Darth Vader costume, complete with a helmet, Jon Rice tries to make his near-annual “Darth Valley” run as difficult as possible. On Sunday, the New Mexico resident completed his run as temperatures neared 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
“You spend very long in temperatures like that and you have any kind of health problems at all, you’ll end up dead,” said Jeff Goodell, the author of “The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet.”
Death Valley, Calif., was the hottest place on the planet on July 16 when the temperature reached 132 degrees Fahrenheit. “I do joke because I don’t want him to do anything silly that would risk his life,” she said. “But I also know he won’t.”Jon Rice began running in Death Valley in 1997, when he and a friend were cruising around the United States in a rented Mustang. When they started heading down the park’s Artists Drive, Rice decided to get out of the car and run.
