How far would you run for a doughnut?

[Manic]

What about a dozen?



Raleigh, N.C. (AP) --

It's a challenge, all right.

In a charity race Saturday, more than 5,000 runners ran two miles to a downtown Raleigh Krispy Kreme shop, ate a dozen glazed doughnuts each and returned to North Carolina State University in less than an hour.

That's 2,400 calories and 144 grams of fat consumed while burning about 400 calories during the run.

The student-run Krispy Kreme Challenge raised about $35,000 for the North Carolina Children's Hospital.

The event began on a dare among college friends in 2004. Then-freshman Ben Gaddy won the first race by beating nine guys in about a half-hour.

His reward? A terrible stomach ache.

What a wimp. Boo!

 

[Drakon]

I would run...I'd run so far away.

 

[JaD]

I don't care for donuts anyways so I wouldn't even run downstairs *picks belly button*

Fatties

Yes indeed same feeling.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Ever see a fat guy run?

In order to burn the calories from the doughnuts, you'd have to run 12 miles instead of 2. And I'm not doing that.

Jeez...That sounds pretty stupid...

and only 2 miles or so?? WTF?

I eat donuts MAYBE, like four times a YEAR and I only get 3 at a time at the most.

You just know a few of them vomited on the run back. I can't see myself eating a dozen doughnuts within an hour (especially Krispy Kreme, which is so sweet I need to take a break between doughnuts to make sure my teeth don't fall out), let alone eat a dozen doughnuts and run 2 miles immediately afterward.

Seriously. I can barely eat one without slipping into a glucose coma.

 

[GuardianofOa]

Bah. This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard (Well, close to). Running to a donut? What the hell are we coming to? Ridiculous.

 

[tzarinna]

Well, it is NC. What else are they going to do?

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I had a donought 2 weeks ago but it was a mini one and home made so I hope it was not so many calories. For Krispy Kreme I would not move, I do not like it.

 

[Majik1387]

I wouldn't even walk for a Krispy Kreme donut.




Dunkin Donuts however...

Steven Seagal would murder 18 vampires to get his hands on a Krispy Kreme!

not if you fast for 5 hours before and after and run for 5 miles while constantly chugging water.

 

[terry78]

For these....depends.

 

[Mutagen]

For charity I would run, but just for the donuts, no thanks.

Damn, son! I haven't had one'a those since Tuesday!

 

[Captain Planet!]

I think I'll just go buy some.

It is Tuesday.
