You can get 5 free Taco Bell tacos without leaving Academy Blvd.

Taco Bell is giving out free tacos Thursday thanks to some baseball player who did something in some big game — whatever; the point is the Colorado Springs area has so many Bells that you can get 16 free tacos if you’re intrepid enough.

Heck, just start on the south side of Academy Boulevard and make your way north, you’ll pass by five Taco Bell locations.

So here’s the deal: You can get one free Doritos Locos taco from 2 to 6 p.m., or you can go online and get a voucher to grab a taco at any time Thursday.

The chain has been running the promotion for more than a decade. You get free tacos if a base is stolen during the World Series.

This year, you can give thanks to Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts for stealing a base.
