The 10th Great Ethiopian Run!
The legendary Haile Gebrselassie, world record holder, founded this race which will take place in the morning of 21st November. Runners this year will include many international athletes who will be competing against Alligan Travel’s very own General Manager, Andargachew Girma along with Ethiopians and tourists from all walks of life. Starting in Addis the run is 10K along the highways and Andarg reckons he will beat his personal record. We wish him luck!
Apart from raising the profile of sports tourism, a portion of the registration payments will be allocated to charity This can help in the provision of mobility cycles for disabled young people so that they be part of the whole exciting event.
