JAN MEDA RACECOURSE |
|
Based in Addis Ababa, the capital of the
African country of Ethiopia, is the Jan Meda racecourse. It was on 5th May 1936 that
Emperor Haile Selassie left the country fearing the onset of War. He returned exactly 5
years to the day later on 5th May 1941 and began the challenging task of rebuilding his
country. |
|
A racecourse was established and a badge is shown above.
Today the course still exists and regularly hosts International Cross-Country races. |
