Run Africa — Running Tours with Local Athletes
Established in 2013, Run Africa pairs visitors with experienced Ethiopian athletes for morning runs through the eucalyptus forests above the city, daily sessions with local training groups, and even visits with families of famous runners. In the world's greatest distance-running capital, this is the most authentic way to feel why.
☀️ Local tip
Addis sits at 2,400m — book an easy first session and let the altitude settle; all paces genuinely welcome.
