The Circle City Donut Dash Donut Challenge

THE DONUT CHALLENGE

Not your typical 5K! Participants take on the challenge of consuming a dozen donut holes halfway, before racing back to the finish.

THE RULES:

You must complete all of the following to be eligible for Donut Challenge Awards
Must eat all 12 donut holes at the halfway point donut station
If you cannot consume all 12 you will be ineligible for Donut Challenge Awards
You have 45 minutes from the race start to consume all of your donuts. The donut station will close down at 9:45 a.m. So be sure you have arrived at the 1/2 way point and have eaten all your donuts by that time!
If you consume all 12 donut holes you must make sure a volunteer checks the donut challenge completed check box on your bib#. No check no award eligibility!
Must "hold down" all 12 donut holes until you cross the finish line
If you "give back" your donuts you will be ineligible for Donut Challenge Awards

If participants in the Donut Challenge are unable to complete the Donut Challenge they will not then be eligible for awards in the non-donut 5k

Non-Donut 5K

Just a regular 5k! Dogs are welcome, and children under the age of 7 can run with their parents for free! If you aren't up for the Donut Challenge, this is the perfect option to still participate in-person.

Virtual 5k

Run from anywhere! Sign up online and you'll receive your packet in the mail before the race. We encourage virtual participants to run at their local school's track and to post pictures on social media tagging Teachers' Treasures and the Circle City Donut Dash!
