NC State's #1 Student tradition for a reason! I loved the atmosphere the morning of Race Day! Knowing that my money is going to the patients at the UNC Children's Hospital is such a wonderful feeling. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone! Really upset I didn't run it my freshman year.

2025 Krispy Kreme Challenge Registration
I'm a casual runner and have done a number of races. The Krispy Kreme Challenge is the absolute best! It's so fun, well organized, and all for a great cause. It was really quite amazing to be in a sea of 7,000 people running down the streets of Raleigh. The people, the atmosphere.. It was just AWESOME! So fun! You gotta do this race at least once in your life!
They say it is the #1 Student Tradition for NCSU students and I agree! Everyone must do this before their four years are over at State. Amazing race with an amazing cause and it is entirely staffed by students!!
I ran the challenge and ate all 12 donuts in under 50 minutes and had so much fun while doing it!! Definitely will do every year at State and hopefully after that! Great Tradition and Cause!
LOVE the KK Challenge. May it NEVER leave NCSU!!!
