A partnership deal between Eldoret City Marathon and the Great Ethiopian Run International 10km was unveiled yesterday, just hours to today’s race in the North Rift’s agricultural town.

Organisers of the Eldoret City Marathon which electrifies a town popularly known as the City of Champions during this year’s Palm Sunday, described the partnership as a joint cooperation between two big races in countries (Kenya and Ethiopia) that fiercely compete in global races.
