Ethiopia runVision Aid Overseas will offer fundraisers the opportunity to explore the highest city in Africa later this year by embarking on the Great Ethiopian Run 2015.

As part of its 30th Anniversary celebrations, the charity has announced the launch of a six-day ‘Ethiopian Experience’ trip.

Fundraisers would be offered a place in return for raising a minimum of £2,500 ahead of the 10km event, VAO said.

The iconic run was taking place in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa in November next year, with an expected 40,000 people registering to take part from across the globe.

VAO runners will fly from London on Wednesday November 18, and have the chance to join a number of optional excursions prior to race day. These excursions included visiting a VAO project and exploring what VAO said was the highest city in Africa.
