We ran with kids at the famous field Jan Meda, met with professional athletes and held a small ceremony. We also played football with the kids.

This was cut short as we had to attend the Press Conference for the Great Ethiopian Run at 11:00. It was well represented by world renowned athletes:

Hicham El Guerrouj of Morrocco, Haile Gebresellassie of Ethiopia, Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia, Sonia O'Sullivan of Ireland, Carolina Kluft of Sweden, and Richard Nerurkar of England.

Richard was the Direcor of the race. There were also five very fast Kenyan athletes, lots of press including the BBC and Athletes Weekly of London, and the British Ambassador Miles Whitstead.
