Krispy Kreme Challenge Ends With 1 Dead

A 58-year old man died in one of the most honorable ways possible this weekend during a five-mile charity race where participants have to eat a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts halfway through the race.

The man stopped one mile into the race when he complained of chest pains and was later taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The 12th Krispy Kreme Challenge was organized by North Carolina State University, raises money for the University of North Carolina Children’s Hospital

“On behalf of the entire NC State community, our deepest sympathies go out to the runner’s family members and loved ones,” the school said in a statement.
