You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There is also the Death Valley Trail Marathon & 30K, though I couldn't find any statistics on that (I would tend to guess very few, if any deaths, in this as well)

In terms of deaths - probably quite a few, but I would guess modern events have extensive health support, e.g. lots of people with bottled water along the way!

You can do a search for videos of it on youtube (just search badwater race) and that will give you clips, but i don't know of any spot where you can just watch the whole thing. I don't actually know how hot the asphalt gets, I just knew the black part would get so hot it would melt rubber shoe soles because of a video about Dean Karnazes I saw sometime last year on yahoo (he talked about having to run on the white line on the side of the road). You can check out the website for the race at http://www.badwater.com/results/index.html and it has a whole list of the runners each year (looks like 40-85 runners do it and complete it each year). But yes, definitely equivalent to climbing Everest, except hot instead of cold ;-)
