Taco The Town 5K & 10K
About this race
Welcome to the first ever Taco The Town 5K & 10K! 🌮
Do you like tacos? We do too! We’ve wondered why all races don’t have tacos at the finish line… so we created a run just to put them there! Every finisher will receive ONE FREE TACO from each truck at the event. That’s FIVE FREE TACOS!
I mean, does ANYONE NOT like tacos?
In addition to tacos, we are happy to mention that some of our local breweries will be present to give out beer samples to all of our finishers as well! Because we all know that tacos go great with a good beer. 🍺
Why?
Well to be honest, I feel like there aren’t enough 5Ks and 10Ks offered in our city. Most runners I know head to the bay or Sacramento to do those events… but that does nothing for OUR city. So introducing, the Taco The Town 5K & 10K event! The only run/walk where there’s tacos at the finish line.
I’ve partnered with local breweries and taco trucks like Tacos la Palmita to bring you FREE TACOS AND BEER for anyone that completes their 5K or 10K!
This will be an in person event with a closed course taking place in North Stockton. The event will also have timing chips built-in for those avid runners that wish to see their times. The event will be offered virtually as well for those that wish to run it on their own schedule.
