Abraham Cherkos Feleke

Abraham Cherkos Feleke from Ethiopia, the reigning World Junior 5000m champion, won the 53rd edition of the Campaccio International Cross Country race – EA Permit – which took place today (6) in San Giorgio su Legnano.

Cherkos beat last year’s Campaccio winner Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge by one second thanks to his devastating kick on the final bend.
