Krispy Kreme Challenge – Raleigh, NC

(Thanks Jed Donahue) Eaters whose new year’s resolution is to exercise more might want to consider entering the Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, NC, on January 27 as it is the first contest I am aware of to include eating & cardiovascular activity. The contest will involve running from the NC State Bell Tower to a Krispy Kreme about 2 miles away, eating a dozen Krispy Kremes at that location, then running back to the bell tower. Regurgitation is frowned upon, but will apparently not result in disqualification. The race will be timed like a typical road race and proceeds will benefit the North Carolina Children’s Hospital.

    There is, or was a similar event in Katy? Tx. It also involved doughnuts but was a bicycle race not running. You knocked off from your time depending on how many doughnuts you ate. Theoretically, you could finish the race before you began. I believe at least one competitor did just that in… ’04?? All of this is from memory.
