RC Cola & Moon Pie Festival

In June Chris and two of his friends ran in the RC Cola & Moon Pie 10 Mile race. This is one of the most difficult 10 mile courses on top of it being at the end of June when it is a million degrees outside!!

The race started at 7:00 a.m. so I had to get up bright and early to get there in time to take pictures. This is Chris's friend Brent crossing the finish line. His friend David had already passed at this point, but I didn't have the camera on yet so I missed him :(



Here is Chris finishing a little after Brent. He, like everyone else, was just drenched in sweat!

After all the runners (and walkers :) ) get done they get all the RC, Moon Pies, fruit, water, breakfast foods they want. It always seems so weird to see all these healthy people chowing down on RC and Moon Pies!

Last year I walked around the festival and yard sales (where I got an awesome old highchair for $10!) for a little while after the race was over, but this year I decided it was just too HOT!! When I got back to the car, a little before 11, it was already 88 degrees and very humid!

Even though it is always so hot, I always look forward to going to the RC Cola & Moon Pie Festival and Race!!!
