Best Twist on a Benefit 

Off the Sidewalk Charity

Staff Pick

On the surface, the Off the Sidewalk Charity 5K Donut Run sounds like any other benefit 5K. You pay an entry fee. You run a certain distance. And at the half-way mark, you scarf down a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, original glazed. Talk about the most appetizing 5K that we've ever heard of. While the idea of mixing fried dough and physical activity may sound a bit nauseating, the more team members you had, the fewer donuts you were personally responsible for, so if you set it up right, running the race would have been a piece of cake ... or donuts. Plus, think of all the calories the participants ultimately burned. The event was a benefit for local organization Sidewalk Chalk, which helps kids access creative outlets like acting, art, and writing. More than 200 people participated. It'll be held for a second time on April 16. Better grab yourself a hot dozen and start practicing now.
