Scenes from Denver’s taco-fueled ultramarathon

Описание: Over this last weekend, more than 700 runners participated in the 8th International Taco Bell 50k.

Founded by Jason Romero and Dan Zolnikov, the free ultramarathon spans 31 miles of Denver streets. Participants run — and eat — their way through the city. The course features 10 Taco Bell locations and runners must complete food challenges at 9 out of the 10 locations over the course of the race.

From Chalupa Supremes to Nachos BellGrande, runners fuel themselves with all types of fast food items as they run through 80-degree weather.
