On Sunday, 27 November 2011 the Ethiopian Great Run was held for the 11th time in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa (which means new flower). 36,000 people from Ethiopia and all over the world participated in the 10km race.
Representing older people
This year for the first time, HelpAge International was represented in the race. Our group consisted of 140 people, including older people from different older people's associations, Age Demands Actions (ADA) delegates, reporters dedicated to our "age helps" message, as well as HelpAge and partner staff. Our HelpAge branded caps and placards reading "Age demands Action", in both the local and English language, made us stand out from the crowd.
