Ethiopian Half Marathon Trials
Defence Club athletes Tsebelu Zewde and Genet Yalew churned out impressive victories in Addis Ababa on Sunday (23) at the Ethiopian Half Marathon Championships, the official trials for the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Copenhagen next month.
The men’s race brought together some of the most experienced road runners in the country, including 2012 Rotterdam Marathon winner and 2009 World Championships marathon fourth-place finisher Yemane Tsegaye, but it was relative unknown Tsebelu Zewde who stole the show.
