INDIANAPOLIS — The Circle City Donut Dash 5K presented by the American College of Education is a run/walk event with 2 different types of races. The premier event is the Donut Challenge, a 5k where participants must consume a dozen delicious donuts at the halfway point. There is also a non-donut 5k for the less ambitious runners.his year all donuts in the challenge will be regular glazed donuts from Long’s Bakery.
The Dash proceeds support Teachers’ Treasures, a not-for-profit that obtains and distributes school supplies free to teachers of students in need. Dedicated teachers are often willing to pay for these much needed supplies out of their own pockets to make sure the kids in their classrooms have the necessary tools to learn. On average, teachers spend $800-$1200 a year on school supplies for their students.
The Circle City Donut Dash will be held Feb. 17 beginning at 9 a.m. at Teacher’s Treasures, located at 1800 E. 10th St. Registration is $30. Visit circlecitydonutdash5k.itsyourrace.com/
