Description:
NLCF for Honduras Aid presents the 2019 Donut Dash 5k on Saturday, November 16, 2019 around the Virginia Tech Drillfield.

Event Schedule:
• 12:00 pm: Registration & Check-In
• 12:50 pm: Welcome & Rules
• 1:00 pm: Race starts
• 2:00 pm: Course closed
• ~2:15 pm: Closing Ceremony & Awards

Join the fun by running halfway through a 5k, eat some delicious donuts with every donut you eat taking seconds off your finish time (1 donut = 1 minute off) and then finishing strong. All proceeds will go towards New Life Christian Fellowship’s work in Honduras.

Runners will start near the April 16th Memorial and head towards the McBryde corner of the Drillfield. Then, runners will proceed to make four laps around the outer grassy edge of the Drillfield.

This year there will be 4 × 1.25km laps instead of 5 × 1km laps. Our hope with this is that fewer people will lose count of what lap they are on, and will be able to get through the course with less confusion overall. Improvements are also in store for the “lanes” that you will run through at the completion of each lap. Donuts will now be offered after lap two (the halfway point). The person with the lowest overall donut-adjusted finish time wins.

Note: This is an open course so other runners and pedestrians will be on the Drillfield.

Race registrations completed by October 15th are guaranteed a race T-shirt. Extra shirts might be available. Water and donuts will be provided at the race. Race bibs will also be provided at the registration table, compliments of Runabout Sports.

The event is free to come and watch or $30.00 to participate in the race.

To register online, visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc25c5D_QwqhDK-bcawq598fUPiy9uWz8dz2QlOhIifAa82BQ/viewform.

Water and donuts will be provided at the race.

You may only have 1 donut in your hand at a time. You do not need to finish eating your last donut before you start running, but it must be finished before you cross the finish line for the time deduction to count. Donut eating is not required.

Participants are limited to 60 minutes to complete the course. After one hour the course will be closed.

Parking will be available around the Drillfield which is free for the public on the weekends.
