19th Annual Krispy Kreme Challenge

What started as a challenge among ten friends has transformed into a nationally publicized charity race and a major fundingraising event to benefit N.C Children’s Hospital in Chapel Hill.

Participants begin the Challenge at the Memorial Belltower on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. Runners then travel 2.5 miles through historic downtown Raleigh to the Krispy Kreme located at the intersection of Peace and Person Streets, where they attempt to consume one dozen original glazed doughnuts before run 2.5 miles back to the Memorial Belltower.
