Run Africa's Greatest Road Race
and experience two of its most unique countries.

Awaze Tours invites you to the lands of the long distance runner for a unique experience designed for those who love adventure and running.  With the signing of the historic peace treaty in the summer of 2019 we can now visit both Ethiopia and Eritrea on a unique and fascinating tour that is built around Africa's greatest and largest running race.

Every year in November, thousands of runners swell the streets of Addis Ababa for a fantastic celebration of Ethiopia’s national sport.  The Great Ethiopian Run, Africa’s largest, is open to runners of all abilities, ages, and nationalities.  

In 2019, the race will take place on Sunday, 17 November and will start and finish in Addis’s massive Meskel Square.  The course is a single 10 kilometer loop with plenty of aid stations and live entertainment throughout.  Organized by a highly professional team of Ethiopians who have years of experience managing races in Ethiopia and abroad, the “GER" is again expected to draw over 40,000 runners from around the world.  ​

We are currently offering two itineraries.  However, we can amend the itineraries if your schedule does not allow you to take either tour.  You may also extend your tour in Ethiopia prior to the race or in Eritrea afterwards.  Select either link below to see more:
