He's not lyin', folks. I, for one, welcome our new running overlords.

Just go through all the right gates this time!

I'd totally wear a wolfy shirt

1/15/2012 3:18:07 PM

I want a wolfy on each tittyball

1/15/2012 3:20:34 PM

ok it might look something like this (hard to simulate what it will turn out like exactly)



I'm also debating whether or not I want to run in this:

Blows my mind that people do this under a half hour.



But anyways, is there a rule that you have to eat the doughnuts at Krispy Kreme? Can you grab them and run back to the belltower, eat them, and then step over the finish line?

"Do you have to eat the doughnuts? No, you do not. You can register as a casual runner rather than a competitor and eat a few doughnuts or no doughnuts at all. You can also race back to the Belltower with the box of doughnuts."

In the second sentence, I'm not sure if they're referring to challengers or casual runners. However, as a challenger, they have to examine your empty box at some point. I think that is only done at KK.

emack could bring some respectability to this site if he sported some tww gear, since i'd bet the house he wins again.

if i ran as well, i'm sure we could claim the first two spots rather easily for tww, but i have no desire to take part again, not a fan of large crowds, among other things.

Registration is now closed.

Supposedly there are 7700 runners.

New Route for 2012 – the Most Challenging Challenge Yet!

As the popularity and size of Krispy Kreme Challenge has grown, congestion on stretches of road shared by inbound and outbound runners has increased. We have worked closely with Raleigh Police to modify the route to enhance runner safety by reducing two-way traffic on narrower stretches. While the 2012 route is longer (about 5 miles total), the new route should provide you with an even better experience.

Check out the 2012 Krispy Kreme Challenge route (click “view full” at the bottom of the map for more detail):

I checked that out yesterday

I may need to try running outside a lot sooner than later lol

1/16/2012 4:18:00 PM

Tried out the route last Saturday. Took it easy after a tough work out the day before and did it in 44 minutes. I hope that leaves me enough time to eat and puke.

1/17/2012 9:41:19 AM

are you trying to *win* or just run ?

1/17/2012 9:43:21 AM

2 more weeks! I am going to try to run the route this weekend. I haven't been doing nearly enough running to prepare for this. I have however, been eating a lot of pastries. So I should be good for that part of the race. How is everyone else's training going?

1/20/2012 2:04:41 PM

I ran 5 miles once. It hurt my calves.


Probably a bad sign.

Im going again tomorrow

1/20/2012 2:06:23 PM

Not good...I hope to at least make it to KK

1/20/2012 2:13:22 PM

Are you signed up? You gotta at least run if you are signed up.

1/20/2012 2:37:08 PM

yeah I'm signed up

1/20/2012 2:39:36 PM

shaved 3 minutes off my last 5 mile run. sweeeeeet.

pretty much am going to have to run 5 miles daily if I have even a hope to not barf doughnuts in public

sweating is so gross

1/23/2012 8:29:15 PM

So I had a kidney infection about two weeks ago which was making me rethink registering for the race.

And I went back to the website to register for real today but the registration is all full, so I'm thinking I'll just show up and run around with team tdub?

1/23/2012 8:56:48 PM

^the more the merrier

1/24/2012 11:45:02 AM

You can run for me...my knee is so fucked up right now

I'm still working out on it, so hopefully it will get better.

1/24/2012 11:52:26 AM

I have about 7 shirts in various colors (black/red), sizes (M/L), and quality (those little Asian children are industrious, but even they make mistakes). First come, first served (if anyone is interested at all).

1/28/2012 5:24:12 PM

Nice shirts.

1/28/2012 5:33:09 PM

Just bought my 6 heads of cabbage for the week.

This shit is on.

1/29/2012 4:32:02 PM

bttt

1/30/2012 2:27:07 PM

we should plan for a meet up spot prior to the race so we can meet/hang out before running/stuffing/vomiting our faces off.

1/30/2012 2:31:30 PM

I'm having turrrble luck lately

I fell coming out of The Architect this weekend and twisted my foot

Still in for the race, just getting slower and slower by the day (if that's possible)

1/30/2012 2:41:52 PM

Prob better to try and meet up afterwards. It's gonna be hectic beforehand.

Also, I've got some sort of sharp pain in my gut for the past four weeks, right about where my appendix is. I went to the Dr. and it's not my appendix, though. This race is gonna be a hoot to run.

1/30/2012 2:45:08 PM

well i don't know about you but i hate standing around by myself waiting. so i'll be getting there about 30 minutes prior to the race, maybe earlier and if someone wants to chat before we gorge ourselves on donuts, shoot me a PM.

1/30/2012 2:50:42 PM

i'm probably going to the wake forest game directly after the race. should be a good, sweaty, glazed time.

1/30/2012 3:14:23 PM

Cassie shoot me a text on Saturday

1/30/2012 3:16:11 PM

I will. I just read the email. I plan on getting into the Dan Allen deck around 7:15 to give myself some time to walk/stretch/prepare my stomach for the awesomeness of donuts

1/30/2012 4:28:17 PM

are you a casual or challenge runner?

1/30/2012 4:33:18 PM

Everytime I think about eating a dozen doughnuts I feel a little bit sicker

1/30/2012 4:44:53 PM

Casual! There is no way I could eat a dozen donuts

1/30/2012 4:45:47 PM

I think I'm gonna just take my box and run with them lol

Eat the doughnuts later

1/30/2012 4:47:08 PM

I WANT A SHIRT. I am probably a medium or large. depends on the shirt really


omg. this is on saturday. I'm afraid. not of running. but of barfing so hard in public.

don't laugh at me guys

1/30/2012 5:12:52 PM

Signing up as a challenge runner = bad idea

1/30/2012 5:13:50 PM

haha I won't laugh as long as you don't laugh at my slowness

Erica I plan on running back with my box of donuts. Mark wants to eat them

1/30/2012 7:11:11 PM

Veteran competitors, about how long did it take you to consume the donuts? I've honestly been slack in my running and I'm worried about not making it in under an hour, so trying to figure out a good pace that will leave me with enough time for the donuts.

1/30/2012 8:07:02 PM

I usually am 15 to 17 minutes each for the running legs, and 25 minutes for eating. I just eat one at a time, and am only going for the 1 hour target. 4 for 4!

1/30/2012 9:47:56 PM

Just shaved 6 minutes off my time.

I'm now at 3 hours and 26 minutes.

1/31/2012 2:40:51 AM

set em up
