The Howard County Striders held their annual All-Fruit Relay This past Sunday. The race features teams of 4 or less running four 2-mile laps for a total of eight miles. Teams have to carry a fruit baton and usually have punny team names. Team Pretty Little Limers were the first across the finish line.
Volunteers: Bill Arbelaez (race lead), Melissa Burger, Joan Chall, Amanda Idstein, Iris Mars
