Embark on a culinary-athletic adventure with The Taco Walk, a unique 24-mile journey through the vibrant streets of Houston, Texas, on January 24, 2026. This isn't a race to win, but rather a spirited social walk designed purely for fun and the love of tacos. Participants will navigate an urban course, stopping at five different Torchy's Tacos locations across the city.

The challenge? To complete the approximately 24-mile route and enjoy at least one taco (or chips/guac/queso) at each of the five designated Torchy's stops. Kicking off at 9:00 AM from the Torchy's Tacos on Wilcrest Drive, the route weaves through Houston, promising a unique way to experience the city's scenery while satisfying your taco cravings. Typical race day conditions in late January for Houston include pleasant highs around 64°F and lows around 46°F, with a minimal 11% chance of precipitation, creating ideal walking weather.

The Taco Walk, hosted by Rise Racing Co., emphasizes camaraderie and a lighthearted atmosphere, encouraging participants to "do something dumb" for the sheer enjoyment of it. While not a timed event, all full finishers are celebrated with commemorative pins, marking their achievement in this one-of-a-kind urban food tour. Participants are advised to bring identification and a method to purchase their tacos at each delicious "aid station" along the way.
