====Krispy Kreme Challenge====
Started by Park Scholars, a more recent tradition of NC State is the [[Krispy Kreme Challenge]]. In this race, students meet at the university's Memorial Bell Tower, then run to a [[Krispy Kreme]] shop {{convert|2.5|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} away (changed from {{convert|2|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} in 2012). Each student must eat twelve glazed [[doughnuts]], then run back to the Bell Tower within one hour. The Challenge was listed as one of the "102 Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate" by ''Sports Illustrated''.<ref>{{cite news|date=September 27, 2005|title=102 More Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate (South)|journal=SI on Campus}}</ref> Proceeds from the race go to the [[UNC Health Care|NC Children's Hospital]]. In 2014, 8,000 runners participated and the committee raised $200,000 bringing the cumulative total donated to the NC Children's Hospital to $758,000 since the race's inception.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://krispykremechallenge.com|title=Krispy Kreme Challenge|access-date=May 29, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523195905/http://www.krispykremechallenge.com/|archive-date=May 23, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The cumulative total reached $2.1 million in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 1, 2024 |title=Tips to complete NC State's Krispy Kreme Challenge |url=https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/tips-to-complete-nc-states-krispy-kreme-challenge-charity-run-to-benefit-unc-childrens-hospital/ |access-date=February 25, 2024 |website=CBS17.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
