This year's Great Ethiopian Run will be held under the theme "Balanced Nutrition for All Children."
The theme was chosen to raise awareness about the importance of balanced nutrition for children's physical and mental development, according to Hileni Niguse, Marketing Director of the Great Ethiopian Run, in an interview with EBC Cyber.
The theme was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and UNICEF.
Extensive preparations have been underway for the past six months to ensure the success of the run, as in previous years.
The 24th edition of the Great Ethiopian Run, an international 10km race, will take place on Sunday, November 8, 2017.
The Great Ethiopian Run was first held 23 years ago, and the inaugural race was won by legendary athlete Haile Gebrselassie.
