About the Addis Ababa 10K
The Addis Ababa 10K delivers Ethiopian running excellence at serious altitude. Runners navigate through Africa's highest capital at 2,355 meters where marathon legends train. January's dry season creates ideal racing conditions as participants experience both African Union headquarters and traditional Ethiopian neighborhoods. The extremely challenging course features both altitude and hills while providing continuous highland scenery. Ethiopian spectators create an atmosphere of genuine running appreciation as participants flow through streets in the nation that rivals Kenya for distance running supremacy. This significant race captures Addis Ababa's distinctive character—internationally diplomatic yet athletically elite—offering a quintessential East African running experience in the spiritual home of marathon excellence.
