Begivenheden i lørdags så flere end 4.000 børn løbe 1,4 km gennem etiopiske hovedstad for at øge bevidstheden om Lær Uden Frygt - Plans globale kompagne for at stoppe vold i skoler.
Verdensklasse løbere Haile Gebresilassie, Sally Gunnell og John Tracey sluttede sig til Plan Etiopiens Country Director David Throp for at kickstarte begivenheden.
Misikir, 10 år, der vandt en medalje i gruppen med drenge under 11 år, sagde: “I am taught about morality and gender issues at school and that helped me to be positive to other people and protect myself from any harm.”
I sin afsluttende tale sagde Haile Gebresilassie: “I am thankful to parents of the children runners because I have witnessed today that they have shown us very confident and competent children.”
