About the 22nd Annual LARS Race Against Hunger & Homelessness

This is a Thanksgiving morning race in Laurel that benefits a local advocacy organization working on hunger and homelessness in the area. The race has been running for enough years to feel like a neighborhood ritual, the kind of event where regulars show up regardless of the weather, cold or drizzly or otherwise, because the cause is the draw as much as the course.
