Krispy Kernels has found a way to make running a marathon even harder… or easier, depending on how you look at it.

At the Marathon de Magog in Quebec, agency Lg2 and the breakfast brand added an extra kilometre to the already grueling 42 km race. Any runner who was able to dig deep and make it through “KM 43” received free Krispy Kernels to refuel their energy. To keep motivating them, the brand offered a prize to one runner for a trip to the Bahamas, where they could run another marathon. We guess if you’re that dedicated to running, there’s no better prize than being able to do it in beautiful, tropical weather.
