A Charity run has been organised Addis Ababa, Ethiopia this Sunday (25 April) which will be supported by some of the top names in Ethiopian athletics.

It is devised on the basis of a school / neigbourhood programme, and 300 kids between 10 and 16 years of age will participate. The start will be at the Alexander Pushkin square, near the Saint Michael Church.

The money raised will be used for enhancing the local neigbourhood.

Heading the list of star guests who will attend the race and who are backing the project are Kenenisa Bekele, the triple-double World Cross Country champion, Kutre Dulecha the World Indoor 1500m champion, and Assefa Mezgebu the reigning Olympic bronze and former World silver and bronze medallist.
