Any rational mind would ask the question ‘how did we get here?’
Any irrational mind would actually try to answer that question.
Introducing the Taco Bell Ultramarathon 50k. 31 of the stupidest miles anyone in the human race could ever run. And it’s fantastic.
The goal is to run the race and consume various Taco Bell items while stopping at locations across the route.
The rules are as straight forward as rule number 1 – Be present at all 10 Taco Bell stops along the courses. Zero tolerance for course cutting. But also as demonstrative as rule number 10. – If you intend to participate, RSVP your statement of intent. ONCE YOU RSVP, YOU ARE IN. THIS IS LIKE THE GOBLET OF FIRE.
So, why? Hubris, maybe? A willingness to accomplish the oddest of tasks? Or, just stupidity? Whatever the idea comes with – just know that any of those answers are also paired with a little bit of pride.
