Donut Dash 2012
Every year Porco's Karate Academy holds the Donut Dash where hungry and brave runners complete a 5k and consume a donut. This fun event also hosts a Kids 1 mile fun run for kids ages 6-13 years of age. This year the Donut Dash will be held on Saturday, May 26th at 8:30 AM at Demitasse Cafe on 3 Glen Rd. in Sandy Hook.
Not only does the day involve family and fun, all the proceeds are for a good cause. Porco's donates the proceeds to Newtown Youth and Family Services. With this money we are able to run groups such as Children of the Force which helps children heal from the pain of their parents divorce or separation.
There is a discount for pre-registering, but runners may also register the day of the event. Click below for the registration form:
