Gebrsellassie set for Manchester 10k run
Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie has confirmed his bid to race at the second BUPA Great Manchester Run title on 17 May. The BUPA Great Manchester Run , an IAAF Gold Label Road Race , is one of the world's leading 10 kilometres road races which attracts 33,000 entrants last year.
