For the past eight years, hundreds of Krispy Kreme Challenge participants have run one mile through downtown Tuscaloosa, eaten a dozen doughnuts and raced back to the starting line, but the organization has decided this year’s event will be “the sweetest race we didn’t run.”
Organizers say that while COVID-19 concerns led to the decision not to invite runners to this year s Tuscaloosa Krispy Kreme Challenge, people are encouraged to make donations to the event s beneficiary, Big Brothers Big Sisters of West Alabama, an organization that pairs vulnerable children with mentors.
To support its mentoring programs, Big Brothers Big Sisters relies on donations and grants.
