"If you-like me-have absolutely nothing to do on November 29 and feel desperate to ruin both your stomach and legs, then local endurance runners Phil Hargis and Mike Wardian have a fun activity for you: the Taco Bell 50K. In this peculiar ultramarathon-which, according to the organizers, is "not sponsored by Taco Bell, just fueled by it [taco emoji] [death emoji]"-runners will traverse 31.07 miles while stopping at nine (nine!) area Taco Bell locations and eating at least one menu item at each."
"By the fourth stop, runners must have eaten at least one Crunchwrap Supreme or Chalupa Supreme. By the eighth, runners must have also eaten a Nachos BellGrande or a Burrito Supreme. There's no Pepto or Alka Seltzer allowed, and if you puke you're disqualified. The reward for "survivors" is an unspecified "commemorative item" and the knowledge that you've done something "completely stupid.""
The Taco Bell 50K sends runners on a 31.07-mile course that includes stops at nine area Taco Bell locations, with participants required to eat at least one menu item at each stop. Specific consumption rules mandate a Crunchwrap Supreme or Chalupa Supreme by the fourth stop and a Nachos BellGrande or Burrito Supreme by the eighth. Pepto and Alka Seltzer are prohibited, and any vomiting results in disqualification. The event has no entrance fee and attracts casual runners, and it reportedly produces a high did-not-finish rate. Survivors receive a commemorative item and the dubious honor of completing a novelty endurance challenge.
