Gebrselassie will stop by to visit adidas’ Supernova Glide Boost stand at Mall of the Emirates to put race hopefuls through their paces as they see how much energy they can generate wearing Boost technology.  

In his 2008 win at the marathon, Gebrselassie ran with a time just over two hours, which remains the second quickest of all time and has only been broken once since‎, by Dennis Kimetto in 2014, also an adidas boost athlete. 

Ethiopian long-distance track and road runner Haile Gabrselassie is a racing legend, with two Olympic gold medals and five world championships over 10,000m. He won the Berlin Marathon four times consecutively and has also had three straight wins at the Dubai Marathon. Gebrselassie wore his first pair of adidas running shoes in 1989 and signed with the brand in 1992. Since then, every record he has broken has been in a pair of adidas running shoes.
