Join Krispy Kreme Challenge for Inaugural Benefit (and More!)

The Krispy Kreme Challenge begins and ends at NC State’s memorial belltower.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge, a beloved NC State tradition initiated by Park Scholars, draws thousands of participants annually from all over the nation (and even the world). Since its inception, the race has raised more than half of its $2 million commitment to the UNC Children’s Hospital.
