The famous event requires racers to run 2-miles, eat 12 donuts, and then run 2-miles back to the finish line.

About 6-thousand took part, eating some 72-thousand glazed donuts and raising more than $40-thousand dollars for the North Carolina Children's Hospital. 55-hundred runners took part.

400 did not finish.

The Challenge started as a dare among ten N.C. State students in 2004.
