Despite Sally's support for the idea, I decided not to do it. I don't remember if it was a moment of sanity, or if I was just plain chicken, but I didn't do it.
Nevertheless, here's a melding of exertion and donut consumption that actually happens: the annual Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, North Carolina. The 2008 Challenge will take place tomorrow.
To Complete the Krispy Kreme Challenge is to:The only way this event could be improved is if competitors were required to hydrate with Coca-Cola. Godspeed, young titans.
1) Run 2 miles from the NC State Belltower to the Krispy Kreme on Peace Street.
2) Eat 1 dozen donuts.
3) Run 2 miles back to the Belltower.
4) Do all this in under one hour.

thanks for the mention of our event! i was an organizer in 2006 and 2007, and competed in it as well both years. i've finished my studies at NC State now, but all us organizers who started the event are still helping by advising this year. 3000 people, bigger and better
I ran a very similar route as a hung over ROTC cadet several times. At least the Krispy Kremers will only be full on the way back.
Uncle Matt,
That is ridiculously funny. I think you should go for it. But make it dramatic so the Lifetime producers will make a movie about one man's determination to finish even while carrying 12 sugar- coated donuts in his bulging stomach. TALK ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT
Also, I have a question for mi tia but I'm lacking her e-mail address.
Could you help me out?
