surpassing itself with some “special effects” to mark the milestone anniversary: Along with the 5 and 10 km routes, a full marathon course awaited ambitious runners for the first time. Participants who did not want to go the whole distance alone could also run with a relay team. The Bateria Barulho Samba band provided the extra dose of motivation and the right rhythm for the nearly 2,000 participants –  and off we went. It is a point of honor that  FREY&LAU supported this great event not only as one of the main sponsors, but also with a team of its own: 68 enthusiastic employees and their families took to the starting line sporting bright orange shirts. We like to think of FREY&LAU as one big team, in which everyone is different, but still sticks closely together. The running crew perfectly reflected our sense of community: From children of the ‘90s to the over 50s, whether walking or running a 5 km or 10 km, FREY&LAU was everywhere at the event. A special athletic accomplishment: One colleague even did us proud in the marathon race and earned a place in the Top 15. Hats off!
