World Athletics, the world’s governing body for athletics, has recognized the 2017 Sophie Malt Great Run in Ethiopia as a label-level road race.
It has been mentioned that the competitions which World Athletics has named as the label level take into account quality events, being safe and the participants’ stay at the competition, the support of city administrations for the event, and the commitment of the event to work on stimulant drugs in the field of athletic competition.
In a world where there are so many racing events, getting this label level shows the event’s growth over time and that it is among the leading and preferred road races in the world.
The World Athletics governing body (World Athletics) evaluates competitions and gives rankings every year;
Race course size, race time registration and elite athlete participation are factors to consider.
The 24th round of the Great Run in Ethiopia International 10km will be held on November 8, 2017 with 50,000 participants, according to the information we got from the Great Run in Ethiopia.
