Running and donuts, Who’s in? The idea is to eat a donut at each location (6) and run to the next location and repeat without tossing your donuts. End the run at our favorite running store Fleet Feet. This is road running and all pedestrian rules apply. I will add additional photos and the GPX file in the comments. This is not a race, just a fun way to get in some miles and enjoy some sugar bombs with friends. We will have a few drawings at the end. One ticket per person and must be present to win.
