Run in the land of runners on the roof of Africa!

2016 TOTAL Great Ethiopian Run International 10k – 16th Edition

The race takes place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Sunday 20th November 2016.

With 40,000 participants, the race has become the biggest road race in Africa. The race is hailed by Brendan Forster, Chairman of NOVA International, as ‘the most exciting race in the world’. It attracts participants from all over the world. Last year alone more than 600 overseas participants took part in the 10k.

At 2500m above sea level, Addis Ababa is the third highest capital in the world. This run will almost certainly be your highest ever 10km run!

From its inception in 2001 Haile Gebreselassie has been the main mover behind this event which, as well as being Africa’s biggest road race, promotes important social messages about health and the Millenium Development Goals – for more information see www.ethiopianrun.org

Race entry fee is £40, which also includes entrance to the pre-race Pasta Party at the Hilton Addis Ababa. Non-residents who wish to register for the race are advised to go to  GER International 10k information page for further details of the benefits of non-resident registration.

Please note that race packs for non-residents are not sent out to participants. Rather, participants are asked to collect their packs in race week from the race information desk at the Hilton Addis Ababa starting from Wednesday 16 November 2016. The latest time for collection is 6pm on Saturday 19th November 2016.
