🔥 Race Overview

#8 and feeling great!

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.
• Repeat: 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.
• Support: All additional 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 demure.
• I’m only planning on eating 2 tacos, can I get a discount? #1 No. #2 Wuss. #3 Bring a friend who likes tacos and they can eat the rest. Taco tickets are only valid from 10am-1pm on race day.

💡 Expectations

• 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.
• Taco Time: Its Taco Time. Waitlist goes into effect if race sells out.
