NC State Krispy Kreme Challenge Jan 26
KrispyKremeChallenge.com reports that this year’s edition of that event will be held on January 26 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The contest entails running two miles from NC State to a Krispy Kreme, eating a dozen donuts there, and then returning to the start. Last year’s contest had 1387 registrants, which is probably the largest field for an eating contest in the world.

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.
