Did you know Denver hosts a Taco Bell 50k?!

It has been described as Urban Legend. More mysterious and barking spiders than the Barkley Marathons. The International Taco Bell 50k boasts a higher DNF rate than the famed Leadville 100 Trail Race. The race has been held annually in Denver, Colorado in early October, which coincidentally coincides with International Taco Day.

The event is volunteer run and all donations go to the Achilles Heel Foundation which supports runners who are injured.

To be clear: Monica is NOT running the Taco Bell 50k. She enjoys being an yearly fan from the safety of her front yard.

You have several options to celebrate International Taco Day and the Taco Bell 50k in District 9:

1. You, yes you, can register to run. Gastric training advised. https://tacobell50k.com/

2. Support the runners at our two Taco Bell locations along the route in District 9. One is at 7150 Leetsdale Drive, and the other is in Holly Hills at 6460 E Yale Ave.

3. If you live along the route, go outside and cheer for these wacky runners. If you do not live on the route, you are welcome to message Monica and join the crew in her front yard.

Enjoy the tradition!
