BEST Krispy Kreme Challenge EVER

Every once in a great while (okay, this is the first time actually), an alert reader of Best Winter Ever brings something to our attention which cannot go unnoticed due to its mass appeal to our readership. And this is why, Melissa deserves a huge shout out for bringing to our attention an activity that would have missed our best winter ever had it not been for her watchful eye.

Some of you out there like to run right?

Some of you out there like Krispy Kreme doughnuts right?

What if I told you there was a winter activity where you could combine the two??

Yes, folks, that's right. Raleigh, NC is having it's annual 2007 Krispy Kreme challenge. For those of you not in the know, this race started in 2004 and the premise is this:

You start at the NC State bell tower
You run 2 miles downhill to the Raleigh Krispy Kreme
You consume 1 dozen glazed doughnuts
You run 2 miles uphill back to the bell tower

…all in under an hour.

I cannot even imagine how much your stomach must lurch after eating one dozen Krispy Kremes in a single sitting, and then as the ultimate offense, you continue to challenge your body by running uphill.

I think that the picture of the guy on the right hand side of the banner pretty much sums it up. He looks like he's about to toss his doughnuts.

It's my hope that Melissa will sign up for this event and provide us here at Best Winter Ever a first hand account of the disgustingly delicious experience that is the 2007 Krispy Kreme challenge.
