Expo:
It is the day before at the Convention Center - lots of booths of items to buy and health-related vendors as well

Swag:
In addition to a tech shirt, you get a loaf of bread and a box of cookies

Logistics:
Lots of places to park downtown including several parking garages. This year, the location changed due to construction so you gathered in City Hall park. Bib were colored according to finish times. Everyone was called by color to line up. Very organized if you followed instructions.

Course:
As I mentioned, it was different than previous years. The art as a result was not a steep incline but an incline as the same. Then you ran around the park and back down to the finish.

Post race:
The nice spread of chocolate milk, fruit, bagels, cookies, bars. A long line but it went fast.

Conclusion:
The Freihofer Run for Women is my favorite race:

It is ALL women – all ages – all sizes – veterans – newbies – elites – walkers
It is a real USATF race with Olympic runners in it.
It feels so good to be a part of its excitement.
You always meet someone you know.
It ends with a downhill :)
