Taco Bell Century 2026

The Basics #

100 miles, 10 Taco Bells, all from the comfort of your saddle.

At each stop, you refuel with Taco Bell — the official fuel of questionable athletic decisions. Whether you're a seasoned century rider or just here for the chalupas, this ride is for you.

Start time is 7:00 AM. Entry is free but donations to our charity partner are recommended. Bring your bike and your appetite.

Support Our Cause #

This year we're proud to support Bicycle Colorado, a nonprofit dedicated to making biking better for all Coloradans. They advocate for safe streets, better bike infrastructure, and policies that make cycling accessible to everyone.

While registration is free, we encourage all participants to make a donation to support their important work in our community.
