About this race

Inspired by the Taco Bell 50k in Denver, this is a 50k "fun" run around Hamilton County that has "aid stations" at 8 Taco Bell's along the way. The run starts with eating an item at Taco Bell #1 and then running to each Taco Bell in turn and eventually ending back at the same Taco Bell for one last item. 

There are no restrictions on what items you may get, but there are 3 tiers of difficulty to this race:


Tier 1: consume 1 food item at each taco bell

Tier 2: By the 4th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme 
By the 8th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Burrito Supreme or one Nachos Bell Grande 

Tier 3: All of the requirements of Tier 2 plus drinking 2 Liters worth of Baja Blast. 

While each of the tiers exists mostly as an additional challenge for the runner, I may try to 3d print some medals that somehow distinguish which challenge you completed. 

Keep in mind this is a free fun run, there will be no awards, there will be no timing, there will be no officials or course marshals, there is no first aid, there is no course signage it is self supported, including the course navigation. 

Not every part of the course includes paths either, it is up to the individual to ensure their own safety while navigating the route. 

Parking: to avoid leaving a bunch of cars in the taco bell parking lot, please consider parking either across the street in the shopping mall parking or by Flix Brewhouse.
