You will take part in the Great Ethiopian run, a high-altitude 10km run in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. During your time in Ethiopia, you will have the opportunity to have dinner with Haile Gabreselassie, a legend in Ethiopian running history. Haile is a multiple world record holding long distance track and road running athlete. He has broken 27 world records and is considered one of the greatest runners in history.

Joining you on this fundraising challenge will be John Treacy, a former Irish athlete, Olympic Silver Medalist and multiple Gold Medalist in the World Cross Country Championships.

"I joined the Concern family in 2008 and I am delighted to be able to support an organisation that has an incredible impact in the fight against extreme poverty in the world. This is not only a great opportunity to be part of the team but also to learn first hand how you are making a difference".
John Treacy

You will of course, have time to take in the sights and sounds of this buzzing capital city and soak up as much African culture as you can in the oldest African country.
