2009 Krispy Kreme Challenge results
NewsObserver.com reports that Cameron Dorn won this morning’s Krispy Kreme Challenge with a time of 29 minutes and 50 seconds and that a camera crew from ESPN was present. It will be interesting to see if any coverage appears on Sportscenter which will probably be dominated by A-Rod’s alleged positive steroid test.
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.
