Krispy Kreme Challenge

I did this challenge this past February. It's not as bad as you think it is.

The hardest part is definitely eating all the doughnuts. Once you stomach that though, it's not so bad. I enjoyed it and it kept me from eating another doughnut for the next 6 months!

My time was 45:16. I beat the challenge Pic in my profile of me at the Krispy Kreme.

I can't even eat three donuts...

I feel like I would throw up.... scary challenge.

I might join in modified for fun.

I can barely eat two donuts and I don't run.

So one donut and a jog? AT LEAST I'M TRYING. T_T

You hate Krispy Kreme???

I love them. It's one of the reasons I HAD to join MFP. LOL

My husband did this in Feb 2011. He imagined the donuts to be hot and delicious, right off the conveyer, since he was running TO Krispy Kreme. Reality - it was cold and rainy, the donuts were made the night before and were cold and hard (they had been sitting outside under tents for a few hours, at least). He choked them down and ran back, but didn't puke. A lot of people did. I was at KK waiting on him to take pics of him stuffing his face. There were SO many people that he was impossible to find. By the time I found him, he was cold and nauseated, but said he had fun. He hasn't had KK since. Raleigh was an awesome place to visit. I am a runner but decided against this one challenge. I would have puked for sure.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but 7700 people at over $5 bucks a dozen, would be almost another $40,000 for the Children's Hospital. Really? If the goal was to raise money for the kids, just do it without the doughnuts and give the extra 40k to the kids.

I like the idea of the Iowa State Doughnut Run better... http://triathlon.stuorg.iastate.edu/tri/?q=DoughnutRun

I would probably die from all that sugar, but it would (possibly) be worth it.

I like this one better too haha....taking time off my incredibly slow 5K time seems like a better reason to eat donuts lol!

I'm sorry, but running 5 miles won't even burn 2 donuts. Eating more than your daily recommended caloric intake in donuts does not sound like an idea that should in any way be associated with medical professionals.

For me 1 mile is about 9 minutes and about 110 calories. We'll round and say that 5 miles is 550 calories. That's almost 3 donuts (regular KK donuts are 200 calories each). My TDEE with no exercise is 2300 calories, so with the run and after burn I'd burn at least 3000 that day. Add some chicken and vegetables for lunch and dinner means I would still come out at or under my TDEE.

I fail to see the problem in a fun challenge. The OP proves time and again you can eat large quanitites of "junk" while losing or maintaining weight. Should have seen the video of him eating a large pizza by himself.

Doughnuts are disgusting. I've never been a fan of any of the doughnut chains.
