The inaugural Haile Gebrselassie Marathon was staged this past Sunday in Hawassa, Ethiopia. The previous post on this blog site contained the race report — Shetema and Negede win inaugural Haile Marathon — but race organizer Rich Jayne, my old television producer from “Road Race of the Month”, sent the following pictures capturing the spirit of the day.

WANDERING IN A RUNNING WORLD 
Haile is on my list of 5 people I want to meet. I would LOVE to run this race one day.
I have worked a lot of events in my lifetime but this was one that I will never forget !
