Krispy Kreme Challenge 2009!



On Saturday, Team NORSA members Adam, Alan Stewart, Tim Josey, and Taylor Hinson were joined by newcomer Scott Hinson and over 5,000 other runners to compete in the 5th annual Krispy Kreme Challenge.

The official event involves running 2 miles from NC State University's belltower to the historic Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in downtown Raleigh, eating 12 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and then running the two miles back in under an hour.



This was Adam's fourth year of participation and the size of the race has grown each year in number and stature. This year a commentator from ESPN participated in the race in a suit and tie with a camera crew in tow.

In the end, only 1,433 individuals successfully completed the challenge. Congratulations to Adam and Alan for their noteworthy finish times.


Participant Run1(Rank) Donut(Rank) Run2(Rank) Overall
ADAM 19:28(1062) 13:34(424) 19:09(684) 49:30(571)
ALAN 19:42(1105) 17:53(739) 18:33(573) 53:26(818)

The winner completed the entire race in 28:09 and the fastest doughnut time was 1:44.
