CT Donut Run

October 4th 2025
West Hartford, CT

This is the most epic, nay the most premier CT running and eating event known to man. 31 miles, 5 donut shops, 7 hours to complete. All on hot, dirty Connecticut roads.

We start at 7 am sharp at Donut Crazy in WeHa. You eat your donut, you start running. Seriously, we are all gone from there at like 7:03 am. On to stop #2, KING Donut in Newington. Then it's on to stop #3 in Berlin, Swiches. Then it's a long way to our next stop... and that thing I said about the Berlin Turnpike? Relax, we're only on it for like a minute. Stop #4 is a fan favorite and possibly CT's best donuts, Neil's In Wallingford. You're gonna want 2. They make a Samoa one, you'll die. Then on to the place you will most likely have a meltdown, some f**king random back road in North Haven, before finishing at Whitney Donut in Hamden before 2 pm. 

This is a 13:20 per mile pace that needs to be held overall. More like a 12:45 pace (about 6 hours 42 mins) and then add in 15-20 mins (more like 18) for stops. 

Listen, I'm going level with you. Ultras are hard, so very hard... so I'm asking you, if you know you can't finish this, please do not sign up. I can't lower the bar for you here. Please, let someone who really wants to run and can run the whole way do this. Logistically it's a true nightmare to get you off the course somewhere and then get you back to your car. Just be a buddy here.

Come support us if you want to be a part of this race- I have volunteer opportunities. They might just be you driving around in a minivan with Bill Odendahl, but actually that sounds dope if you ask me, I'm so into that shit.
