10 "Eat and Run" Races

10 "Eat and Run" Races

 // 

Doughman Race

Where: Durham, North Carolina

After seven years, the Doughman took a break in 2014, and runners’ stomachs might be thankful for that. This race has four legs: The first one is the omnivorous one with a swim, then a pig in a blanket with potatoes and cheddar cheese. In the second one, you’ll bike and eat a mac-n-cheese “cupcake.” The third one consists of a long run as well as kale and mushroom tamales, while in the last leg, you’ll compete in a short run and eat bratwurst with gorgonzola cheese, kraut and jalapenos. Good news: It’s a 4-person team race and it’s due to return in 2015.
