3 miles 'til donuts. 🍩🏃🏻♀️
I signed up for the 2026 Stan's Donut Race Stan's Donut Race because I'll always run for a pastry. But, somewhere between the starting line and the donut, this became about more than dessert brilliantly disguised as breakfast.
My first race ever. A crowded race course that pushed me outside my comfort zone. Miles shared with people I love: Mason Eng Judy Hu Eric Pan. And somehow...a bronze medal for females in my age group, which was a pretty fun and unintentional surprise!
Most importantly, we were doin' it for the dough: raising money for Cal's Angels while also earning the kind of dough covered in glaze.
Sometimes growth doesn't arrive looking profound. Sometimes it shows up disguised as a donut, reminding you that you can do things you never imagined...and that celebrating along the way is part of the journey, too.
Now, who's hosting the next pastry-powered race? Sign me up! 🍩🥉
