Denver's Taco Bell Ultramarathon
Every October, a race that many can’t believe exists happens in Denver, and it has a higher “Did Not Finish” (DNF) rate than the arduous Leadville 100. That race is the Taco Bell Ultramarathon. The next Taco Bell 50k will take place October 3rd, 2026. Starting at 7:30am, participants will ru a route around Denver, consuming a menu item at 9 out of 10 required stops. But wait! There’s more. Read the full course rules breakdown:
Race Rules
Be present at all 10 Taco Bell stops along the courses. Zero tolerance for course cutting.
Eat a menu item from at least 9 of the 10 Taco Bell stops.
By the 4th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme (dietary restrictions will be allowed within reason).
By the 8th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Burrito Supreme or one Nachos Bell Grande (dietary restrictions will be allowed within reason).
Finish under 11 hours.
Drinks do not count as food.
Entrants must keep all receipts and wrappers for confirmation of stupidity at the end of the run.
An off-course bathroom break will be allowed at Wash Park.
SURVIVORS will eventually get a commemorative item after successful completion of the run.
If you intend to participate, RSVP your statement of intent. ONCE YOU RSVP, YOU ARE IN. THIS IS LIKE THE GOBLET OF FIRE.
No on-course Pepto, Alka Seltzer, Pepcid A/C, Mylanta will be allowed!
Additional "rules" may be added, amended, or changed to promote the intent of this run, which is to do something completely stupid.
Congratulations?
* Diablo Challenge - lather all items with Diablo sauce and do a Diablo shooter at the end.
** Baja Blast Challenge – drink an aggregate of 2 Liters of Baja Blast during the run without vomiting.
