2011 Krispy Kreme Run

This morning marked the third annual Krispy Kreme Run to benefit our local United Cerebral Palsy.

Ben, his friend Harrison, and couple of other scouts represented the scouts well.  

They were privileged to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance before the start of the race.

Then it was time to run!

In order to win the race you had to run 2 miles to our local Krispy Kreme, 
eat a dozen doughnuts (teams could share their dozen) 
and then run the 2 miles back, finishing in under one hour. 
If you finished the race in less than an hour and ate your doughnuts 
then you got the coveted green race t-shirt.  
If your time was longer or you weren't able to finish your doughnuts 
you got the still nice white race t-shirt. 

This race seems to bring out some very interesting characters.

I guess any race that involves eating doughnuts...

is going to attract folks that don't take themselves too seriously.

And you get the idea that running and eating doughnuts might not be the best idea.

This kilt-wearing runner ran directly from the finish line to the trash cans.  
Poor guy.

Ben was pretty proud of himself and the scouts.  
They finished with a couple of minutes to spare.
And no one puked.
