NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame men’s and women’s track and field team will play host to a special event Sunday (Nov. 7) at the south quad of Notre Dame’s campus to raise money for Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, Ind.
The event will include two races, with one beginning at 1:30 p.m. (ET), and the second starting at 2:15 p.m. The first race is for people who have partial teams, or those who do not wish to partake in eating donuts. The race at 2:15, or the championship race, will be for full, four-person teams that will eat donuts during the race.
One team member will run the length of the south quad, eat three donuts, return to their team, and tag the next runner.
If interested in participating, sign-up sheets are available during lunch or dinner at the dining halls or prior to each race on Sunday. The cost to enter is $5 per person and the winning teams will receive prizes.
