ALBANY — The Freihofer’s Run for Women is doing something a little different this year tohelp honor women this Mother’s Day. The organization is accepting nominations for Gold Medal Mother between March 27 and April 22. The winner will be announced on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14.
The organization is looking for moms who exemplify the Freihofer’s Run for Women and its belief in women’s empowerment, supporting the community and supporting and lifting each other. So many women who have run this race have also overcome a personal struggle, or are running in honor of someone else who has.
The public is invited to share these women’s inspirational stories with Freihofer’s Run for Women to have an opportunity to win free registration to the event.
For consideration of a deserving mom, entrants must complete the nomination form and include an essay of 95 words or less. The essay should explain why the nominee would make an excellent choice, explaining what the nominee has overcome, or how participation in the Freihofer’s Run for Women has been part of her journey.
A committee of judges will select one winner, and four runners-up, based on the essays received. All decisions are final. The winner will be announced on Mother’s Day. Full rules and regulations may be found at: https://freihofersrun.com/media.
