Early Sunday evening on May 16 (when some UVA runners were racing in North Carolina), some youthful contenders were having a race of their own at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School's "Fun Run." Organized by Meriwether mom Sarah Trundle (a top finisher in the recent Charlottesville Ten Miler), the all-relay event paired siblings, friends, and even parents with their children. And guess what–- everyone won a ribbon.
