What is the difference between a Challenger and a Casual Runner?
So what exactly is the difference between a Challenger and a Casual runner? We're glad you asked! All runners, whether you are a challenger or a casual runner, receive the same racer t-shirt. And it looks great on everyone! Also, both challengers and casual runners receive their own box of 12 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! Delicious!! However, the true difference lies in the race itself. All Challengers attempt to complete the entire race, which includes eating all 12 doughnuts, in under 1 hour. Casual runners may choose to try to complete the challenge if they would like, but are not required. For our planning purposes, we will only scrutinize the finished doughnut boxes of those who register as Challengers. But challengers and casual runners alike are encouraged to have as much fun as possible!!
