Posted: Feb. 7, 2009

RALEIGH, N.C. — More than 5,200 intrepid "athletes" warmed up and ran in the fifth annual Krispy Kreme Challenge in downtown Raleigh Saturday. From a starting line at North Carolina State University's bell tower, participants took off at 9:30 a.m. on a two-mile run to the Krispy Kreme at Peace and Person streets.

They tried to consume a dozen of the shop's signature donuts and then race back to the start – in less than an hour.
