Taco Bell Ultramarathon set for Denver Saturday

Oct 3, 2025, 8:30 AM | Updated: 12:36 pm

Ok, I love Taco Bell (don’t judge me). This seems dangerous and yet probably the best people watching ever!

A Taco Bell Ultramarathon is taking place in Denver Saturday. It is for a good cause to raise money for disabled runners with Achilles International Denver.

The race challenges participants to run 31 miles and eat at nine Taco Bell restaurants. Participants must consume items like Chalupa Supremes and Burrito Supremes in 11 hours.

No winners will be declared. The runners cannot take Pepto-Bismol or Alka-Seltzer during the race. People watching at it’s finest starts, we are assuming, at mile 20!

Full list of rules and list of side quests:

  1. Be present at all 10 Taco Bell stops along the courses. Zero tolerance for course cutting.
  2. Eat a menu item from at least 9 of the 10 Taco Bell stops.
  3. 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).
  4. 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).
  5. Finish under 11 hours.
  6. Drinks do not count as food.
  7. Entrants must keep all receipts and wrappers for confirmation of stupidity at the end of the run.
  8. An off-course bathroom break will be allowed at Wash Park.
  9. SURVIVORS will eventually get a commemorative item after successful completion of the run.
  10. If you intend to participate, RSVP your statement of intent. ONCE YOU RSVP, YOU ARE IN. THIS IS LIKE THE GOBLET OF FIRE.
  11. No on-course Pepto, Alka Seltzer, Pepcid A/C, Mylanta will be allowed!
  12. Additional “rules” may be added, amended, or changed to promote the intent of this run, which is to do something completely stupid.
  13. 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.

This could be the perfect prep for a colonoscopy. Have a safe race day!
