RUN 4 THE BORDER

Welcome to Run 4 the Border (R4TB) presented by Urban Runners! One of the spiciest and dumbest 50k, 24k & 12k in the nation. R4TB will test your endurance and challenge your gut strength.

The Taco Fueled Challenge:

Run Taco Bell to Taco Bell and spin THE WHEEL OF FATE to determine what you will eat. Just don’t forget your wallet… tacos await.

No podiums, no medals — just bragging rights, burning calves, and bellies full of regret (and tacos).

Register here.

The Course: Come run the beautiful and expansive Greenway systems and boroughs of Charlotte, NC. The flat and fast course traverses bridges overlooking the river and parks with groves of oak trees, and non-technical terrain.

I’d never had Taco Bell before. I quite like the Baja Blast.
