Krispy Kreme Challenge - 2007
I'm recovering today from running the 3rd annual Krispy Kreme Challenge. A couple of NC State undergrads cooked up this event a few years ago and it's grown by leaps and bounds. This year there were over 1,300 participants, and they raised $10,000 for the NC Childrens Hospital. I talked a few folks from the Carolina Rollergirls into signing up for this feat of masochism as well.

Here's the gist. Runners start at the NC State University Belltower, run 2 miles to the Krispy Kreme, eat a dozen donuts, then run back. In under an hour.

2,400 calories
140 grams of fat
4 miles

It takes a special kind of athlete to pull this off, but Auburn Staples won this year in an incredible 24:32!
