Format, awards and support
The course features three designated "donut zones" at approximately the 1, 2 and 3 mile marks. Each donut finished in a donut zone reduces the final recorded time by 30 seconds. Participants who eat 12 or more donuts receive an additional bonus of one minute off the final time for each donut over 12. All registered participants receive a race medal. Additional medals are provided to first and second place finishers (male and female) in each age category and to the top three overall finishers (male and female). A prize is listed for best donut costume. The event supports the Winter Garden Police Athletic League, which runs a free eight-week summer camp for 140 children and a Holiday Gifts for Kids Program that serves about 400 local children. Packet pick-up is scheduled for Friday, November 7 at the Winter Garden Police Department, north side entrance. Online registration is open through November 7; race day registration is available and accepts cash and credit cards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
