Krispy Kreme Sponsors Marathon?

My friend Christpher Knight of Reidsville, NC, is reporting on his blog that his life-long friend Chad Austin is taking in a fund-raiser event known as The Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, NC.

The annual event, which I presume is sponsored by the Winston-Salem, NC- company,  is a charity race that takes place on the campus of North Carolina State University.

Knight describes the event as following:

An individual starts at the bell tower of  NC St., and then begins a two-mile run to the nearest Krispy Kreme donut shop. The runner then devours a dozen original glazed donuts, and then races back to the bell tower. They have to complete the race within one hour!

Yes, I think this is like seeing Pat Buchanan's Moments in African American History or having Michael Moore moderate a Fox News Republican Debate from Provo, Utah.

According to Knight, Chad was able to complete the race. One imagines he had quite the sugar rush as well......!
