Promotional trailer for the 2007 Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, North Carolina. Competitors attempt to run two miles from the historic Belltower at North Carolina State University to the Krispy Kreme store in downtown Raleigh. Once there, they must consume a dozen original glazed doughnuts, and then run the two (primarily uphill) miles back to campus, all in under an hour. The challenge was first proposed by former NCSU basketball player Chris McCoy, and has been profiled by Sports Illustrated: On Campus. All profits from the event are donated to the North Carolina Children's Hospital. Successful completion requires at least modest physical fitness, and a cast iron stomach. Throwing up results in disqualification. Are you up to the challenge? Register at www.krispykremechallenge.com and find out!

  • I had so much fun being a spectator this year.

  • I run half marathons, 10ks, and the occasional 5k if I want to win something... but I was talking to my friend in NC about doing this... we said we would, and that we would have to train for it...

    True endurance and a test of the human will right there...

  • i did this run, it is sooooo fun i almost threw up but then i was at the finish line

  • i'll be there on Jan 26 2008 for the next run. and for the doughnuts. a dozen glazed please!

  • ooooo so hongry for one right now

  • Indeed. There are donuts available at the finish line for those that want to make it a baker's dozen, or go for even more. I think they should add a chocolate-covered kreme-filled donut at the finish for an optional time bonus. They could call it, "going the extra mile."

  • FOUR MILES!!!!! Damn! Is a dozen enough? I would've thought they'd at least let them bring an extra box to eat half way back.

    This is truly a testament of not only human endurance and fitness but also to the rejuvenating power of Krispy Kreme donuts.

  • I think this is all lost on Ryuranger. Actually, it's four miles. Two miles to the donut store, and the two miles back.

  • What's your problem, Dude? Did you flunk out of Science class? Does a radio work without batteries? Does a car drive without gas? No, Dummy. And the body needs fuel too. Donuts provide us with all the essential carbohydrates, amino acids, and more importantly, sugary glazes, that give us energy and power us toward the finish line.

  • It's two miles, Jackass!!! They need the calories!!!
