YOUR RACE PACK

Every finisher receives the pieces that make the virtual race feel connected to the Addis Ababa event.

01

Race t-shirt

All registered participants who complete the 10km will receive an official race t-shirt after completing their run. Your t-shirt will be the same as the t-shirt worn by participants in Addis Ababa and will be customized to your size. It will be sent to your group leader after race day.

02

RACE BIB

Your Race Bib design will be available to download two weeks before race day.

03

race medal

Finish your run and receive your medal after the virtual race window closes.

After you have registered you will receive details about downloading an app to record your run. We encourage you to do this to be part of our worldwide community.

 

Please email any questions about your run or how to download your run experience to virtualrun@ethiopianrun.org

 

The results of those in the group will be posted on the Great Ethiopian Run website. You can also see live updated results on the ‘Leaderboard’ as runs are completed.

RECORDING YOUR RUN

RUN FOR a cause

For the past 25 years, organizations have registered groups for the Great Ethiopian Run 10km. Every year we invite individuals and groups who can’t make it to Addis Ababa in person to run the race virtually and raise money for good causes.

to support the official fundraising campaign for the 2026 Great Ethiopian Run 10km Presented by Bank of America. In 2025 we have raised over 4 million Birr for four beneficiaries!
