In an exciting development for Ethiopian athletics, the Bank of America has announced that it will become the Presenting Partner of the Great Ethiopian Run International 10km starting in 2026.
The five-year partnership marks a major milestone for the iconic event, further strengthening its international profile. The announcement was made at the Haile Grand Hotel in Addis Ababa during the build-up to the 2025 race, which attracted global marathon leaders. Among the distinguished guests were the race directors of the Boston and Chicago Marathons—two of the world’s most prestigious races—highlighting Ethiopia’s rising influence in the global running community.
The Bank of America’s involvement promises greater support for the Great Ethiopian Run, a flagship event celebrated for its vibrant blend of sport, culture, and community. The partnership aims to boost participation, enhance the race experience, and showcase Ethiopia’s rich running tradition to a wider international audience.
As Ethiopia’s largest road race continues to inspire thousands, this collaboration is expected to create new opportunities for athletes, sponsors, and fans. It not only strengthens the event’s legacy but also reinforces Ethiopia’s reputation as a powerhouse in long-distance running.
