Welcome to the Grand African Run!
Join us for the annual 5K fun run/walk and be part of a unique experience. This year, we are honored to welcome two current world record holders (Women's Marathon and 5,000m) as our distinguished guests. Olympic legends Derartu Tulu and Million Wolde will also be there to cheer you on and motivate you throughout the event!
When you register for this year’s Grand African Run, you will have the chance to win a 2024 Toyota Corolla in our lottery drawing. Whether you cross the finish line first or last, all registered participants will be entered, and the lucky winner will be announced on event day, October 12.
Every participant will receive an official event t-shirt, a water bottle, and special sponsor giveaways in a goodie bag before the event. At the finish line, you will be rewarded with a commemorative medal and snacks.
Make your participation even more meaningful by running or walking for a good cause. Help us raise funds for Wegene Ethiopia Foundation that goes to the less fortunate and disadvantaged children and their families in Ethiopia. Click "Make a Difference" link below to learn more.
