H- now how do the stores deal, how do the stores take, uh, feel about you guys doing the race? Because now you've been doing it for years, you probably have created a relationship with, right? Have you created a r- relationship with some of the stores and the owners and stuff, or no?

no?Somewhat, yeah.

Yeah, so it's one, um, one company that owns most, if not all, the Taco Bell franchises here in Colorado, and it's definitely one, uh, corporation that owns all the franchises that we go to.

It's just one company with that we gotta communicate with.

Um, yeah, we sat down with them, uh, earlier this year, and they said, "Well, best we can do for you is, like, open the stores early and staff them and make sure we have enough food there for the runners." And we were like, "Hey, great.

That's all we need." You know, we're not-- I'm not trying to get anything out of this.

And you're like, "Get me out of here." So how did you end up in Colorado then? How did it end up Colorado?
