About the Race
Everything you need to know about the most ridiculous 50K in Texas
The Taco Bell 50K DFW is a free, self-supported urban ultra where runners navigate the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth, stopping at Taco Bell locations along the way.
This isn't your typical trail race. There are no aid stations, no timing chips, and no podium. Just you, your legs, your appetite, and the open road. You purchase your own food at each stop and carry those receipts to the finish as proof.
All finishers support our charity partner. Come for the tacos. Stay for the glory.
