You said Freihofer’s correctly! It is a great race, but it can be quite hot sometimes. The first year I ran it, they ran out of water at the first water stop. As it was only a 5k, it wasn’t a big deal, but a lot of women were quite upset. In the past Freihofers has been a national road champion race in the past. In this area a 5,000 person race is pretty big, Albany is a pretty small town.
Lynda, It sounds like an interesting race. 5,000 is a lot of people for a 5k.
