Four Miles, Twelve Donuts....... And No Puking !!
So, you want to do something a little different? Something that no one else you know has done before? Something that MIGHT cause you to puke - but you'll love it anyway? Have I found an event for you .......
It's the Krispy Kreme Challenge Run. It began a few years ago in Raleigh, NC with a dozen or so (like donuts) NC State students, and now, it's one of the fastest growing events in America..
It's pretty easy in theory. You run the two miles thru Raleigh from the campus belltower to the Krispy Kreme. The the hard part - you have to eat a dozen of the glazed goodness that are Krispy Kreme donuts. Then, run the two miles back to campus - all in under an hour. With 5,500 other lunatics...
It only costs $16, and that includes a t-shirt, and the donuts. The rest of the money is donated to the North Carolina Children's Hospital. This year's race raised over $35,000 for the kids. So, if you're interested, I'll be getting the 15 passenger rented and ready to represent Flotown in what could be the next Olympic event. If you want to experience it, check out this ESPN clip of this year's event... See you there next year.
