Bezunesh Bekele Sertsu (born 29 January 1983) is an Ethiopian long-distance runner who specializes in cross-country running and marathons.
In her early career, she achieved notable success in road races, securing back-to-back victories at the Montferland Run in 2004 and 2005, as well as winning the Rotterdam Half Marathon.
At the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships, Bezunesh finished fourth, setting a national half marathon record of 1:08:07.
[1] Bezunesh narrowly missed being selected for the 2008 Ethiopian Olympic team, despite having faster times than Tune, which caused tension between the two runners.
[9] Later in 2012, she placed fourth at the Yangzhou Half Marathon but improved during the year, winning the Great Scottish Run and setting a personal best of 51:45 in the 10-mile race at the Dam tot Damloop, where she finished second.
