Taco Bell Ultras, 475-Mile Races & Moab Flooding | Trail Running & Ultra News 10-16-26

This week on the Texas Outlaw Running Talk Show, Briston and Aaron break down some of the biggest and strangest stories happening in trail and ultra running.

They start with the Taco Bell 50K, a 31-mile run built around stopping at Taco Bell locations, eating along the way, keeping your receipts, and somehow surviving without Pepto. Briston gives his verdict on whether he would ever attempt it.

Then the conversation turns serious with the Moab 240 cancellation, severe weather, flooding, stranded runners, and the difficult decisions race directors have to make when safety takes priority over finishing.

They also recap Cody Poskin’s impressive win at Kodiak by UTMB before previewing the Big’s Backyard Ultra World Team Championship, including athletes and countries to watch.

The episode closes with a bigger question: as backyard runners push toward 400, 500 and potentially even more miles, where is the actual limit of human endurance?
