Yaya Girls 5km Cross Country Race - 05.04.15

Posted: Apr, 7th 2015 Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,

The Yaya Girls is proud to announce that on April 5th at 9am they will be hosting a 5km cross-country race to recruit a new class of Yaya Girls, while also raising awareness and money. They are greatly indebted to four sponsors for making the race a reality.

The race will start and finish on the territory of the Yaya Village hotel, which is also the home of the Yaya Girls. It will be a 5km Cross Country race open for athletes, running enthusiasts and novice runners alike, looking to escape the city and enjoy their Sunday morning. There will also be a short 500 meters kids race at the start of the event and because of the upcoming Easter holidays, after the run there will also be an Easter egg hunt for any children, making it a half-day activity for the whole family. 

If you are interested to take part in the race or want to simply come along and enjoy the day please join our event on Facebook or contact us directly via email at yaya.girls.program@gmail.com. You can also reach us by phone at +251 91 26 84 694. The race will not only help raise awareness about the project, but will also help us select our next group of girls who will receive scholarships from the Program.

In the week after the race we will interview the top 25-30 finishers of the race, helping us find the best fit for our goal of empowering at risk girls. We start at 9AM sharp and we hope to see you there!
