9th Annual Taco Trials

The 9th Annual Taco Trials takes place on 12/12/2026 in Deep River, Connecticut at El Bracero, 160 Main St. The event format is ten repeats of a one mile loop for a total distance of 10 miles.

Participants receive a Ragged Cuts medal and a small taco for each loop completed. To receive an event medal a participant must eat at least one taco and run at least one loop. If a participant does not complete all ten loops, they still receive the medal and a tiny taco for each loop they ran. Puking is an immediate disqualification.

Prizes include trophies for first place male, first place female, and first place non-binary. All proceeds will go to the Connecticut Forest and Park Association. A waitlist will be used if the race sells out.

Registration details listed for the event are: registration opens 11/15/2026 and closes 12/10/2026, with a registration fee shown as $10,000,000.00. The event description notes that the race is informal in tone and includes tomfoolery and lighthearted regret as part of the experience.
