The Krispy Kreme Challenge
About
The Krispy Kreme Challenge is an annual, student-run race benefiting the UNC Children's Hospital. Beginning in 2004 with a mere 12 participants, the race has grown exponentially and has rapidly become one of NC State's most cherished traditions. Over the past 20 years, we have donated over $2.1 million to the UNC Children's Hospital. Beginning at the NC State Belltower, each runner runs 2.5 miles through Downtown Raleigh to the Krispy Kreme store located at the intersection of Peace St. and Person St. After attempting to eat a dozen of the famous original glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, participants run the two and a half miles back. This is the Krispy Kreme Challenge.
