2,400 calories, 12 doughnuts, five miles, one hour. The mantra of the
Krispy Kreme Challenge epitomizes the test of physical fitness and
gastrointestinal fortitude. What started as a challenge among ten
friends has transformed into a nationally publicized charity race, and
the number one tradition to complete before graduating from North
Carolina State University (NCSU). All proceeds from the Krispy Kreme
Challenge are donated to the N.C. Children's Hospital so that its
staff can continue to provide the best care and facilities for their
patients. Participants begin the Challenge at the Memorial Belltower
on the campus of NCSU in Raleigh. Runners then travel 2.5 miles
through historic downtown Raleigh to the Krispy Kreme located at the
intersection of Peace and Person St., where they attempt to consume
one dozen original glazed doughnuts. The hardest part of the Challenge
awaits them as they run 2.5 miles back to the Memorial Belltower. This
is the Krispy Kreme Challenge!
