Speaking of Mexican food on Capitol Hill, we wanted to give you plenty of time to, um, train for the second annual Fiesta 5K in Volunteer Park on Saturday, May 4th. We had some special commentary on the race and the taco truck set-up organizers arranged for the inaugural event.
The snotty headline aside, the race is one of the few timed events that takes place entirely on Capitol Hill so for you competitive types, here’s your chance to let it rip.
Taco purveyors include Taqueria La Fandita and… Skillet? “In addition to a large family area,” organizers note, “there will also be a beer and margarita garden for those 21 and over with valid ID.” If you don’t yet have a large family, get on that, too.
THE END CELEBRATES CINCO DE MAYO
with the TACO TRUCK CHALLENGE
featuring the FIESTA 5K OLE!
107.7 The End’s 3rd Annual Top Taco Truck Challenge
Saturday, May 4th at Volunteer Park, Rain or Shine
KNDD, 107.7 The END once again invites Seattle to celebrate Cinco De Mayo on Saturday, May 4th at 107.7 The End’s 3rd Annual Taco Truck Challenge featuring Fiesta 5k Ole! run.
No admission is required to gain access to all the taco trucks in this all ages challenge event. In addition to a large family area, there will also be a beer and margarita garden for those 21 and over with valid ID. Admission is free for registeredFiesta 5k Ole! race participants and $5 for everyone else 21+. Admission to the beer and margarita garden will also get you access to see live music performances from Locals Only artists My Goodness and The Young Evils.
The Fiesta 5k Ole! Fun Run/Walk begins at 9:30am at Volunteer Park (1247 15th Avenue E. Seattle, WA 98112) and the 3rd Annual Top Taco Truck Challenge kicks into full swing at 11am. All food trucks at this event will be selling their normal menu items at their regular prices and all non-taco trucks will feature a special, taco themed menu item as well.
Some of the trucks featured at this year’s challenge come from Taqueria La Fandita, The Grilled Cheese Experience, Nomad Curbside, Tokyo Dog, Skillet and Happy Grillmore, just to name a few. So come enjoy some great tacos, vote for your favorites and see who will be crowned Seattle’s Top Taco Truck.
Not to be a pedant, but shouldn’t “Quatro” be “Cuatro”? Am I missing some sort of clever wordplay that incorporates an event name or sponsor into the Spanish word for “four”?
There are typos that I understand. And then there are these that I’m not really sure how in the world it happened. I’d say “fixed” but that’s impossible. Thanks for noting. Sigh.
I *am* looking forward to finding out what these “taco themed menu item”s will be, as a non-running, non-bro, Mexican-American.
