Bull Taco and EZIA Launch Weekly Beach Run, Dinner Included

It takes real guts to run the streets of Pamplona with an angry bull on your heels — but it also takes a brave man to run along the Cardiff coastline sporting nothing but an itsy-bitsy bikini. And come Thursday, you just may see a couple. 

Bull Taco and EZIA Human Performance have teamed up to launch a weekly 5K beach run in Cardiff, and bikinis are encouraged — yes, including you, gentleman. Costumes are also welcome, and in fact, prizes go to the most over-the-top getups.

“People see us running down the beach and they think it’s hysterical,” said Vanessa Castellanos, who helps rehabilitate athletes and coordinates events at EZIA Human Performance, which was located in Cardiff but recently moved to Carlsbad. “This is about having fun, so we definitely want people to dress up and be creative.” 

If the idea of getting fit while having fun isn’t enough of a motivator, perhaps the promise of tacos and beer is: The $15 registration fee includes all-you-can-eat tacos and beer garden back at Bull Taco after the run.  There are also organized beach games, like horseshoes, Frisbee golf and Ping-Pong.

“It’s like college all over again with a little bit of exercise peppered in,” Castellanos joked. “After the run we hang out by the fire pit, eat some dinner, drink a beer, and watch the sun set. It’s a good time.”

The weekly 5K run will be held every Thursday in August. The run begins promptly at 6 p.m. in front of Bull Taco and the route continues to Swami’s and back again.
