This is a great activity for kids, runners, families, and die-hard crazies!
You'll start on the gun, run your mile, enter our "Pig Pen" where you will grab 1 donut and eat it, once your mouth is empty you will head to the Start/Finish line. You'll repeat until you've completed the distance/# of donuts.
