G4S 4teen mentor Haile wins the Great Manchester Run for a third time
17 May 2010
On Sunday the 16th May, G4S 4teen mentor and marathon world record-holder Haile Gebrselassie took to the streets of Manchester to compete in the Great Manchester Run. Over 10,000 people came along to watch the race and Haile, and they were not to be disappointed. Haile won the 10 km race in a comfortable fashion, crossing the finish line located in Deansgate, in a time of 28 minutes and 2 seconds, to beat off the other 36,000 competitors. The great distance runner of his generation sees this victory as a small stepping stone to achieving his eventual goal, of beating his own marathon world record, later this year.
