All Fruit Relay
The annual All-Fruit Relay Race was held by the Howard County Striders at Oakland Mills Middle School May 31. Team Dominate, wearing a bike helmet covered with fruit, cruised to an easy victory over several veteran teams. Team Dominate consisted of J. P. Allera, John Briguglio, Andrew Revelle, and Travis Boccher. Their winning time of 43:46 was the fastest time in recent memory for this 8 mile race where each runner ran a 2 mile leg.
Various fruits, including a pineapple and a mid-Eastern fruit called an etrog, were passed from runner to runner during the race.
