"Not to be outdone by Triangle rival North Carolina State University and its annual doughnut run, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Interfraternity Council is launching a competitive fitness and eating event. The council will host its first Chick-fil-a Challenge on April 24. Participants will start at the Chi Omega sorority house on Franklin Street, run two miles to the Chick-fil-a in University Mall, eat a dozen chicken nuggets, then run back to the fraternity house. Proceeds from the event will benefit the North Carolina Children’s Hospital. This challenge comes months after NCSU held its largest Krispy Kreme Challenge, drawing 6,000 participants. That event requires participants to run two miles from NCSU to Krispy Kreme in downtown Raleigh, eat a dozen donuts, then run back, all within an hour. It also benefits the children’s hospital. For more information or to register for the Chick-fil-a challenge, go online to chickfilachallenge.com."

FAIL.

that's total bullshit

mainly because 12 nuggets is nowhere close to as difficult as 12 donuts

4/7/2010 10:57:26 AM

12 chicken nuggets =/= 12 donuts

4/7/2010 10:57:37 AM

This is true.

4/7/2010 10:57:41 AM

A dozen nuggets is not that much. A dozen sandwiches maybe...

4/7/2010 10:57:50 AM

next they will be doing 12 french fries

4/7/2010 10:57:52 AM

Those bastards. Who do they think they are raising money for charity?!

4/7/2010 10:57:55 AM

a dozen chicken nuggets? weak...

4/7/2010 10:57:59 AM

this shouldn't piss me off, but it really pisses me off

4/7/2010 10:58:03 AM

i'd say 6 sandwiches could maybe come close to a dozen donuts

4/7/2010 10:58:36 AM

that is weak sauce.

4/7/2010 10:58:54 AM

12 chicken nuggets... that's hardly a challenge

4/7/2010 10:59:36 AM

yeah, make it a party platter of nugs, then we are talking. 12 nuggets is a damn appetizer

4/7/2010 11:00:33 AM

LAME. it should be like...half of a party platter

4/7/2010 11:00:55 AM

This is why we can't have nice things.

4/7/2010 11:02:05 AM

They should have done a dozen chicken strips. That's a bit more reasonable, imo, however, still less than a dozen donuts...

Plus donuts give you a helluva sugar rush. Chicken nuggets calms me down and my body wants to take a nap... Hmm... wait a second...














































Nope, still gay, just like the university. oh snap! CWIDT?

Oh shit, thumper is going to kill me for the space I just left above... FML.

4/7/2010 11:02:43 AM

I, too, like a light snack in the middle of my workouts.

4/7/2010 11:04:05 AM

we should stuff KK donuts with chic-fil-a nuggets and make the nugget stuffed KK donuts challenge

4/7/2010 11:04:29 AM

Part of me isn't mad because it raises money for the children's hospital...

Then the other part of me is like BE CREATIVE AND GET YOUR OWN FUCKING *ORIGINAL* RACE

4/7/2010 11:07:23 AM

i fail to see the challenge in the chick-fil-a challenge

they should call it the chick-fil-a run 'n' snack

4/7/2010 11:13:59 AM

Ahahah sooooo lame.

ibt "queer as football bats"

THIS! Show them how it's really done!

4/7/2010 11:19:08 AM

I like how after 12 chicken nuggets, a sorority house turns into a frat house

4/7/2010 11:20:23 AM

Beyond Bullshit

Steal our idea, ok, but make it a CHALLENGE, not something you would order for lunch

4/7/2010 11:20:52 AM

^ Good call, missed that part.

4/7/2010 11:21:34 AM

yeah, this will fail.

4/7/2010 11:23:54 AM

a dozen nuggets aint shiton donuts

4/7/2010 11:27:05 AM

12 chicken nuggets =/= 12 donuts

4/7/2010 11:27:38 AM

old

but 12 nuggets sounds a lot tastier than 12 doughnuts

4/7/2010 11:28:28 AM

Or at least do what other colleges are doing and outright just take the idea but give us the credit for it...

Don't try to one up us and make it look super lame...I bet espn will be all over that shit.

run 2 miles to a sandwich shop. wait in line. order a foot long sandwich and a large coke, no ice. wait on it to be made. down it all, including the coke. run back, no potty breaks. finish all of that within a hour.

now THATS a challenge.

4/7/2010 11:29:26 AM

If Stuart Scott covers this live, I will shit

4/7/2010 11:31:53 AM

I don't see how its offensive- its a great idea for a good cause. That article was written to make them sound like they were "1-uping" us. Do you really think the people who organized the one at UNC was like "OH NCSTATE CANT DO ANYTHING GOOD WE WANT TO TAKE IT FROM THEM?!" No, they probably heard the idea, looked for junk food about 2 miles away, and realized they could get platters and adapted our idea to meet their needs. "Oh, that sounds like fun, lets do it too" seems like it should be a complement, not an insult.


I think the KKC creators should try to get some sister schools to do runs as well, and work it as sort of a franchise. *They* run it, but you have to follow *our* standards, so the runs won't be shit. They could even have a clause where the Children's Hospital gets a certain % and the schools choice gets a %.

4/7/2010 11:32:27 AM

surprise, UNC is gobbling cock

4/7/2010 11:33:00 AM

Let's all go to chick fil a like an hour before and all get chicken nuggets so that they run out.

4/7/2010 11:33:04 AM

^hahahaha


It would've been great if they had scheduled this for a Sunday morning challenge...

[Edited on April 7, 2010 at 11:34 AM. Reason : ]

4/7/2010 11:33:37 AM

^6 that would kick ass

start at the bell tower, run through the neighborhoods N of hillsborough to sub conscious, order/wait for/eat the footlong+coke no ice, run back. in 60 minutes.

it should have a more interesting name than "sub conscious challenge" though

[Edited on April 7, 2010 at 11:35 AM. Reason : .]

4/7/2010 11:34:47 AM

oh no. how will i ever finish a dozen nuggets?

oh wait, i know how - in one bite.

4/7/2010 11:39:44 AM

I'm guessing you are a fat chick.

4/7/2010 11:40:21 AM

chic-fil-a must be stingy with their meats

12 nuggets is insulting as a "challenge"

ha haven't you ever seen an eating competition? it's always some scrawny ass asian dude or chick that wins while the 300 lb. dude can barely get through it. i mean, i guess he is more in it for the long haul and if it was a 24hr. eating competition he would win.

I put the bug in the ear of my old fraternity at ECU and they teamed up with JDRF to do a similar run. I attempted to get KKC involved with the idea of taking it to other schools that have KK's nearby, but they were busy enough running the one at NCSU.

Now if it was a White Castle and a dozen sliders, you'd have a competition. I bet you're allowed to share if you can't finish.
