The 17th edition of the Great Ethiopian Run (GER) women’s 5km road race is to take place on Sunday in Addis Ababa. Over 200 elites athletes are expected to take part in the competition with 15,000 participants expected to show. The race is officially sponsored by Vodacom. The telecommunications giant will be the official sponsor this year’s race, The Reporter has learnt.  

One of GER’s annual races, the 5km race has been one of the best pre-competition trials for new upcoming athletes. The first winner will receive 25,000 birr prize. Ethiopian long distance runner, Tsege Geberselama is one of the well-known athletes who will take part in the race, this year.

GER 5k road race has been staged with an aim of encouraging mass sports alongside inspiring women. This year’s message reads “With good nutrition she’ll grow into it,” by Nutrition International..       

Meanwhile, Great Ethiopian Runs in collaboration with the Ministry of Women Children and Youth has targeted to collect sanitary pads from participants coming into the race, and distribute it to girls who do not have access.

In another news, Meserat Defer has been named the recipient of AIMS Inspirational Women Award.
