began as a dare between a few N.C. State undergrads in December 2004. The friends agreed to run from the Memorial Bell Tower on campus to the Krispy Kreme 2.5 miles away, down a dozen glazed doughnuts, then run back. That year, junior Ben Gaddy, a member of the university’s club rowing team, finished the seemingly impossible task in a time ofNews of Gaddy’s feat was quickly picked up by local media and spread around campus, and the race soon grew into a massive annual charity event in Raleigh.
Not everyone signed up will attempt the challenge, though. Runners who don’t have the guts can opt to race as “casual” runners, which means they can carry the box of doughnuts with them to eat after the race. People can also participate as “no-doughnut” runners, meaning they don’t get a box of doughnuts.Each year, a large portion of race proceeds go toward the UNC Children’s Hospital. So far, the Krispy Kreme Challenge has raised more than $1.7 million for the hospital, Burgess said.

Before the race kicks off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Burgess and her team will pick up around 6,000 boxes of a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which will be stacked on tables at the turnaround point, ready to be devoured.Courtesy of Krispy Kreme Challenge

Easy! mynextrace
During this race was actually the first time I ever had a Krispy Kreme :) I hail originally from the north.
This run had more appeal than the Boston Marathon.
