9th Annual Taco Trials
10M in Deep River, CT · $54 · capped at 60
#9 and feeling fine!!!
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?)
Got a brand new spot this year at El Bracero in Deep River CT. Race is from 10am-1pm.
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 get a refund if I don’t eat all ten tacos? No. Bring a hungry friend if you don’t think you’re going for the full Monty. Any tacos left over are considered a sacrifice to the race gods.
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.
Where should I park? There is ample street parking, and also parking at the elementary school about .25 miles away. We highly suggest car pooling. DO NOT PARK IN ANY OTHER BUSINESS’ PARKING. GETTING TOWED IS ON YOU BOO.
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
