5,000+ registered for Krispy Kreme Challenge
The North Carolina State student newspaper reports that 5,038 entrants have registered for tomorrow’s Krispy Kreme Challenge, an increase of about 2,000 from last year’s field size. The contest entails running 2 miles from the NC State bell tower to a Krispy Kreme, consuming a dozen donuts at that location, and then returning to the race start. Proceeds from the race will go to the NC Children’s Hospital and ESPN will be covering the event. Registration is now closed since the cap has been reached. Last year’s winner, Phillip Curley (time 31:20), was a student at rival UNC.

It looks like a 4 mile run total, 2 up and then 2 back. Still, 7:30 for a mile shouldn’t be too bad for a runner.

Hall Hunt would destroy all 5,000 if he entered!

May i add something?. All of you do this strenuous exercise and when you display pictures you look fatter than ever. You cant mask the large intake of food with exercise because it wont show results. The only way both will work hand in hand is if you stop eating or cut out all your favorite goodies. Simple and plain as that
