Freihofer's Run for Women becomes Black Girls RUN! meet-up

Olivia Frempong, Albany ambassador for Black Girls RUN!, said at a news conference last week she hopes at least 300 women from her organization will sign up for the Freihofer's Run for Women, which starts and ends on Washington Avenue in front of Albany City Hall. Frempong said more than 100 have already signed up.

"The mission within Black Girls RUN! is that no woman is left behind and it's your race, your pace," Frempong said. "It just really meshes with what the Freihofer's principle and mission is all about as well. It's about getting from the start line to the finish line safety and having fun with it as well. It's just an honor to be in partnership with the Freihofer's Run this year and it's going to be an amazing experience."
