Children took off at the start of the kids strider race in City Park Saturday night. The strider race has become a staple of the festival drawing a full race in kids and adults versions in which racers run their bikes through a course taped off through the cottonwood trees of city park. This year’s race was run in a relay format for an added team element and extra drama. h/t Lander Cycling Club
