Taco Bell 50K Knoxville
The Taco Bell 50K in Knoxville, TN is a 50K loop-style event held on February 27, 2027. The route begins and ends at The Long Run (2452 Sutherland Ave) and visits seven Taco Bell restaurants in order along a mapped loop around the city. Turn-by-turn directions and a downloadable GPX file are available for navigation because the course will not be marked.
Participants must travel the entire route on foot and visit each Taco Bell stop in order. At every stop a menu item must be ordered and consumed on location; receipts and wrappers are required for verification. By the third stop each participant must have consumed at least one Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme or one Cheesy Gordita Crunch (dietary substitutions allowed within reason). By the sixth stop each participant must have consumed at least one Burrito Supreme or one Nachos Bell Grande. Certain items are disallowed and drinks or sauces do not count as food.
Safety requirements include wearing a 360 degree reflective vest while on course, no over-the-ear or in-ear headphones, and using sidewalks, greenways, and pedestrian crosswalks where available. The event runs on open roads in places with limited shoulder; organizers recommend running against traffic when necessary. Timing services will be provided by East Coast Adventures and there is an 11 hour cutoff for completion. Packet pickup is available the day before at Pace House by The Long Run. The 2027 event is in person only and includes a small entry fee and a finisher medal for all participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
