Course, rules and safety
The route visits eight Taco Bell stops in order, including the start/finish location. Participants must travel the full course on foot and may not cut the course. A menu item must be eaten at each Taco Bell stop, and food must be consumed at the restaurant rather than carried while running. By the third stop participants must have eaten at least one Chalupa Supreme, Crunchwrap Supreme, or Cheesy Gordita Crunch (dietary restrictions allowed within reason). By the sixth stop participants must have eaten at least one Burrito Supreme or Nachos Bell Grande. Cinnamon Twists, Cinnabon Delights, and Cheesy Roll Up are disallowed. Drinks and sauces do not count as food.
Additional rules require keeping receipts and wrappers for verification, prohibition of on-course antacids, mandatory 360 degree reflective vests while on course, and no in-ear or over-the-ear headphones. The course is open to traffic; participants must use sidewalks and greenways where available, follow pedestrian crosswalks, and travel against traffic on roads while staying as far left as possible. Timing services are provided by East Coast Adventures. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
