Taco Johns has to be some of the most white people fast food I’ve ever had lol…but their hash browns were always fantastic after morning PT.

2026 Milwaukee Edition
Year one was brutally cold, so we moved it to early fall for year two!
The route is a perfect representation of all Milwaukee offers, and finishes at almost exactly 50k!
Come out September 19th and try to see if you can drink more soda than me(you can’t)!
Is this really happening? My friends in Madison would love to try it.
Silly stunts of self abuse for those who can’t run anymore? Where is the smoking 50k where you have to smoke a whole a cigarette every 1k? In fact there was a smoking Asian runner (not sure what country) who would do 3:30 marathons while smoking. He was banned from events due to drug policies
It came to my attention through the Ten Junk Miles podcast group
They’re based in Chicago (plenty of Malört jokes), but also do shows in Milwaukee and Madison, I believe?

Ten Junk Miles podcasts and events feature some pretty substantial runners
I highly recommend, but that’s my taste - might not be yours
Not as silly as this one
Sage Canaday posts a teaser
of all people… the vegan guy doing this skirting the challenge that way. meat takes longer to digest, making it harder
Challenge doesn’t say that you have to eat any meat item, so it’s not “skirting” (as in steak?) the rules
Suppose a person is lactose intolerant, and says “no cheese?”
I heard a quote from Selema Masakela on Toby Morse’s (singer/songwriter, H2O) One Life, One Chance Podcast, when asked about his diet, and having meat from time-to-time - Toby is a long-time Straight Edge vegan, but no judgement
“I’m ‘plant-based,’ not ‘plant-exclusive’”
Yup, even avoiding cheese diminishes the challenge. Thats why the milk mile is probably harder than the beer mile
FWIW Joey Chestnut ate “only” 57 vegan Impossible Brand hot dogs in 2024, far below his Nathan’s Hot Dog record of 76, set in 2021
Not that it matters; Joey eats more hot dogs in one minute than I eat all year
He is offered more prize money and sponsorship from Nathan’s.
Surf Seven NJ beaches, on seven different boards, and visit seven Surf Tacos, between each
Surf/taco/repeat
Believe it or not, the only Surf Taco I’ve been to is the Red Bank shop, because it was next to Jay & Silent Bob’s (until they moved down the street) and across the street from Jack’s Music. But I’ve been there 4 times
I love the artwork inside
Race this Saturday. It is going to be 87 in Denver which is not ideal as I’m not a hot weather runner, but at least it is low humidity.
Possibly up to 2,500 people running which is crazy for a novelty event.
Flying in tomorrow. Hitting Rocky Mountain NP and some breweries the night before. A slight hangover, 50km running, and 9 to 11 Taco Bell entrees at altitude sounds like a stupid plan.

8 hours total including at least 1 hour spent at the restaurants
7 hours is a normal trail 50k time for me. For a road 50k this is slow for me, but elevation and food consumption balances the ease of road running.
Probably finished in lower midpack.
I don’t think I’d run it again although I believe I could easily take off 1 1/2 hours.
Btw not to be gross but common question about Colon activity. There was none until I returned to the hotel after the race. I used a pair of TB bathroom and a port-a-potty in a park for liquid evacuation.

So, you ordered using the TB app while on your way/on the run?
Smart!
