This weekend, hundreds of ultramarathoners in Colorado are hoping their legs don’t give up on them — and neither do their stomachs.

On Saturday, Oct. 4 in Denver, Colorado, the “ International Taco Bell 50k Ultramarathon ” will take place. The race, now in its eighth year, is described as the “World’s Most Gastricly Demanding Ultramarathon” and asks its participants to run 50 kilometers (31.07 miles), stop at 10 Taco Bells and eat a menu item from at least nine of those stops, all in under 11 hours.

The rules state that drinks don’t count as food, and racers aren’t allowed to take Pepto-Bismol, Alka-Seltzer or other indigestion-related medicines. Runners must also keep receipts and wrappers “for confirmation of stupidity” as survivors of the athletic and gastrointestinal feat.
