On June 12, 2012, sixty or so runners threw aside their watches and put their internal timeclocks to the test during the (let's say) 32nd running of The Twinkie Run. Beforehand each runner had predicted how quickly they would complete the 10K course and on this warm summer night each runner tried to make their prophecy come true. Thanks to a staggered start, if everyone ran their predicted time, everyone would finish simultaneously. Here we see a few of them in deep concentration, focused on their pace:
Not everyone finished precisely on time - though a few came extremely close - but in 2013 I predict that everyone will finish at the same time! Of course, not all predictions come true...
A big congratulations to Rhonda Anderson for finding The Hidden Twinkie. Her prize was the selfsame Twinkie. She may be having it bronzed.

A very big thank you to Immanuel Baptist Church
Not only did they graciously allow us to host the race at their church and cooked our bratwurst, but when we newbie race directors forgot mustard, ketchup... AND PLATES... they swooped in to save the day. Thank you once again, Immanuel Baptist!
