This was the 15th annual Krispy Kreme Challenge.
The goal: to run 2.5 miles to the historic NC Krispy Kreme donut store, eat a dozen donuts, then complete the 2.5 mile run uphill to the finish line, all in under one hour.
The run encourages charitable donations and fundraising for the UNC Children's Hospital. The challenge also doubles as a costume contest – you may see a hand of bananas, various fruits and vegetables and an onslaught of Marvel heroes to spot throughout the event.
