Organiser's Description
#8 and feeling great!
***IMPORTANT NOTE: This year's price does not include tacos. We encourage you to download the Taco Bell app and preorder, or order as you go for those that arent trying to demolish their stomachs with ten.***
An event that's been described as "Harder than Western States," "soul-crushing," and "horrifying." We have also been called the "Dick's Last Resort" of races. Rated PG-13 IF we are on our best behavior. And we already promised other people we would be on our worst behavior so...... Sold yet?
Eat a taco, run a one mile loop. Do that ten times, and faster than anyone else and you win(Do you though? Really?)
Going back to OG style at the one and only Taco Bell.
All proceeds will be going to the Connecticut Forest and Park Association!
FAQ:
_What happens if I don't run all ten loops?_ You still get a Ragged Cuts medal and a tiny taco for each loop you run.
_Can I just run and not eat the tacos? _Sure- if you sign up for a different race. You must eat at least one taco and then run one loop to receive an event medal here.
_What happens if I puke? _Puking is an immediate DQ. Don't puke. Its NOT
_What else should I expect?_ Tom-foolery. Regret. Stupidity. This race isn't that serious.
_If I am the fastest (stupidest?) what do I win?_ We will have trophies for 1st place male, 1st place female, and 1st place non-binary.
Its Taco Time. Waitlist goes into affect if race sells out
