Last year there were 7500 people registered for this race. This year, it is totally full already even though the race isn't for 2 more weeks. The organizers are a bunch of NC State alumni who started this race with 10 people in 2004. Last year, they raised 100 thousand dollars for NC Children's Hospital. Here is a link to a story from last year's race

It's nice that it raises money for a good cause, while having fun!
