The Fleet Feet Bloomington Donut Run is a fun annual event for runners and walkers of all ages to celebrate the anniversary of our Store Opening on May 23, 2013.
Participants will run/walk a one mile loop in the neighborhoods around the store 1, 2 or 3 times and will eat a Krispy Kreme Donut on each lap. You will receive a Popsicle stick after eating a donut and after completing a lap. Donuts must be eaten in the "donut zone" on Maloney Drive and can't be carried on the course. The first 100 people to turn in SIX Popsicle sticks (representing three miles and three donuts) will receive a prize.
This event is just for FUN - it is untimed, not accurately measured and there are no awards. But it is also for a good cause! For a $5 donation to St. Jude participants may skip one donut, for a $10 donation you can skip two and for a $15 donation you can skip them all and just RUN. Donate ahead of time or in-person at registration and be sure to collect your special donation popsicle stick at bib pick up (on the honor system).
All participants (except children in strollers) should be registered and wear a bib on the front of your shirt during the race. You can pick up your bib on Saturday, May 17 during regular store hours (10am - 5pm) or before the race on Sunday from 8:00 - 9:00 am. Classic "Donut Run" shirts are available for purchase during registration through 5/1 and can be picked up with your bib. We will have a limited number of shirts available for cash purchase on race day.
We need lots of volunteers to make this event possible! Tell your friends and family and click the link on the left to volunteer.
Walkers are welcome but there is a one hour time limit and the course closes at 10:00 am. Any participants still on the course at that time will need to move to the sidewalk.
The Race Director may delay or cancel the event if the conditions on race day are unsafe. In the event of a weather cancellation no refunds of the entry fee or any other costs in connection with the event will be given. All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude.
