Racers with guts Normally, you don’t think of runners wolfing down a dozen glazed doughnuts during a race but that’s what the brave participants do (or at least attempt) at the annual Krispy Kreme Challenge. Participants start at North Carolina State University’s campus, and race 2.5 miles through downtown Raleigh to the Krispy Kreme store on N. Person Street. There, they eat 12 doughnuts, then (gulp) run 2.5 miles back to the campus. Race proceeds go to the North Carolina Children’s Hospital in Chapel Hill, whose mission is to provide quality care to patients regardless of the family’s ability to afford services. This year’s Challenge is set for Saturday, Feb. 8, with roughly 8,000 runners expected. For more, visit krispykremechallenge.com.
