The Ethiopian National team delivered a historic performance at the 2022 World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Belgrade. Of the 12 total medals awarded for the two longest races (1500m and 3000m) the Ethiopians captured eight! Ethiopians won gold in all four races (men and women) and in the women's 1500m race, Ethiopia captured the first three spots. In the 800m, Freweyni Hailu won a silver for Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is undoubtedly the land of the long distance runner and you can be part of it! Every November Africa's largest and greatest road race, The Great Ethiopian Run, is held on the streets of Addis Ababa. All ages and abilities are welcome to participate in this 10k run. If you want to test yourself a bit more, the Hawassa Half Marathon is held every February in Hawassa, a scenic lakeside town less than four hours from Addis Ababa.
