The Taco Bell DC 50K Returns in 2026

Last year, more than 400 runners crossed the finish line of the inaugural Taco Bell DC 50K, a free, unsupported race hosted by Phil Hargis and Mike Wardian that sent participants to eight Taco Bell locations across Virginia and D.C. Starting and ending in Old Town Alexandria, runners had 11 hours to eat one item at each stop, with no digestive aids allowed.

The race is back for 2026. It runs on November 27, it's free to enter, and yes, the same rules apply. Register at tacobelldc50k.com.
