Great Ethiopian Run
The 10,000 entries for the first edition quickly sold out and other people unofficially joined the race without a number.[1] The 2016 event saw over 40,000 registrations despite the fact that a 6-month state of emergency was declared in October following violent anti-government protests.Abe Gashahun and Foiteyn Tesfaye, both relatively new and unknown young athletes, were the surprise winners of the 16th edition of the Great Ethiopian Run 10km international road race which was held on Sunday, November 20, 2016.Gashahun, coached by Haji Ajilo comes from Debre Birhan, 120km northeast of Addis Ababa, and travelled to the capital yesterday for this race.Tesfaye runs for the Messebo club based in the northern province of Tigray and is still relatively new to the racing scene in Addis Ababa.
