The streets of Summit will echo with energy, unity, and purpose this Sunday, May 24, as the Altius Family 5K Run kicks off — and Gofere is proud to be a partner in this powerful initiative.
Organized by Altius Gymnasium, the event is more than just a race — it’s a movement for wellness, togetherness, and community spirit. With the motto “Let’s Run for Family Health,” the run aims to encourage fitness and bonding among families through an accessible and joyful event that invites everyone — from children to elders — to lace up and get moving.
🏃♂️ A Family Affair with Over 5,000 Participants
More than 5,000 participants have registered, making this one of Addis Ababa’s most inclusive street races to date. The excitement is building fast, with running t-shirts available for purchase through Saturday for those who want to be part of the crowd in style.
This isn’t just a race — it’s an occasion that blends health, fun, and purpose. And with Gofere involved, it’s also a celebration of African sportswear designed to uplift local communities.
🎤 Official Press Release Highlights
A press release held earlier this week spotlighted the event’s scale and social importance. Speakers included:
- Mr. Abel Wondwossen – Deputy Executive, Gofere Sportswear
- Mr. Cheru Kusa – Owner, Altius Gymnasium
- Mr. Engdawork Daniel – Director, Addis Ababa Youth and Sport Expansion
- Artist Admasu Kebede – Ambassador, Altius Gym
Each emphasized the goal of promoting healthy lifestyles, especially post-pandemic, and the need to create safe, inspiring spaces for communal fitness.
🎁 Special Gifts, Big Moments
Participants can expect exclusive gifts from Altius Gym and sponsors — from kids to adults — making every finish line feel like a celebration. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running to win, this is your moment to shine.
🤝 Gofere x Altius: A Partnership in Motion
As a brand committed to empowering African communities through sport, Gofere’s involvement in the Altius Run isn’t just sponsorship — it’s alignment. We believe in sports as a tool for health, empowerment, and unity. Events like this bring our mission to life.
