So, why is this the last Raider Run? Next
year, when Stuart High School will become Justice High School and the mascot will be the Wolves, the 5K will be
called “Run with the Wolves.”

Justice sucks! Long live J.E.B. Stuart!
I'm sure no irony was intended by bleating that "Justice sucks" and that we should instead continue to honor a man who conducted raids into other states to capture black men and boys and return to the South where they would be enslaved. Long may the wolves run.
