Welcome to the Grand African Run!

Welcome to the Grand African Run on October 10, 2026 - a unique 5K fun run/walk experience where passion meets purpose. We are always honored to welcome Olympians and World Champions as our distinguished guests, including Derartu Tulu, Kenenisa Bekele, Tirunesh Dibaba, Meseret Defar, Sileshi Sihine, Genzebe Dibaba, and Belayneh Densamo, who inspire and cheer participants every step of the way. In 2026, we look forward to hosting athletes of the same exceptional caliber to grace our event. Every participant will have the chance to win a Toyota in our lottery drawing, with the lucky winner announced on event day. Whether you finish first or last, you are eligible for the draw as long as you attend the event and complete the course. The winner will only need to cover taxes and processing fees. In addition, all participants will receive an official event t-shirt, a water bottle, and a goodie bag filled with special sponsor giveaways, and you will cross the finish line with a commemorative medal and tasty snacks awaiting you. Make your participation even more meaningful by running or walking for a good cause, as all funds raised go directly to our charity partner to support underprivileged children and their families. Lets connect, celebrate, and inspire together at this remarkable event!
