Poor guy died before he got to the donuts.

Actually I’m thinking he sampled too many of them before the start of the race.

>> runners traveled 2.5 miles to the Krispy Kreme location... After consuming a dozen donuts, participants ran back to the bell tower.

That’s just wrong on SO many levels.

Why would you run? Much easier to eat KK’s while sitting.

Hmm - I wonder if the donuts at the halfway point have icing?

These donuts are overrated. I’d rather have grocery store donuts.

Christie only moves at a slow walk,the only reason he’s still alive.If he tried a run like that,he’s a goner for sure.

Only Krispy Kreme in town turned into a Whataburger. I guess my neighbors are into healthy eating. Now the closest one is 7 miles away in the next town. Too far to run.

I’d imagine Krispy Kreme execs are horrified but relieved that it happened before the doughnuts.

KK franchised out right at the time most realized that CARBs were baaaaad. The Atkins diet is exactly how to lose pounds and its all about avoiding carbs. The franchises saw HUGE crowds yearning for fresh hot KK donuts. In one year those crowds disappeared.

But oh how I could dream of doing whatever fitness program enough to justify sitting down on a snowy morning with a dozen fresh KK and going werewolf on them. Coffee and KKs and no second thoughts - yum.

maybe purging after 10, involuntary most likely!

Just whatever you do, don’t let Chris appear in public dressed in his Baseball Uniform with those snow white stretch pants! I gotta hand it to him, unlike me, Chris is never too self conscious to have fun, so good for him.

Spent many a blissful hour at that KK location while I was in grad school at NCSU.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge was after my time, though.
