Ethiopia is a place where grand narratives hold special and unique significance in the making of its culture, from historic battles for independence to the current humanitarian crisis sparked by fighting in the northern region of Tigray that has captured headlines around the world.
Just last week, on 1 March, Ethiopians celebrated an important national holiday – the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Adwa – commemorating a time when an Ethiopian army, led by Emperor Menelik II, overcame overwhelming odds to fend off invading Italian forces to maintain their independence. The battle and holiday commemorating Adwa helped to cement a sense of Ethiopian exceptionalism as a non-colonised country with a fighting spirit.

Thirty-eight years ago the first edition of the Jan Meda International Cross Country competition was held at the famous racing ground in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Since then, annually, many of the world’s top long distance runners from Ethiopia don their club team singlets, and meet in the capital of Addis Ababa to vie for national glory, spots on teams bound for the World Cross Country Championships, and the attention of international agents. On Sunday (31), the 2021 edition took place, markedly different from previous non-pandemic editions. Foreigners were nearly absent, spots for a world team were not on the line.
