About 7,500 people registered for the annual Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh Saturday, and 5,515 managed to complete it, race spokesman Brian Van Norman said.

AdvertisementThat’s four miles of running to burn off about 2,400 calories.
No word yet if Mike Bloomberg’s office helped in the training of the athletes.
