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.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
