Berhanu made his debut over the marathon distance in 2009, competing at the Casablanca Marathon and finishing fifth with a time of 2:15:57 hours.[1] His next outing at the 2010 Valencia Marathon saw a three-minute improvement to 2:12:51 hours.[2] He was also fifth at the Košice Peace Marathon that year.[3] He fared less well in 2011, coming 19th at the Prague Marathon and 13th at the Twin Cities Marathon, barely managing to dip under two hours and twenty minutes that year.[4]
Berhanu was only 20th at the 2012 Marrakech Marathon but later set personal bests in the half marathon (61:54 minutes in Barcelona) the marathon, the latter in a winning time of 2:12:25 hours at Grandma's Marathon.[5] He set a 10K run best of 28:46 minutes at the Corrida de Langueux, where he was eighth.[6] He was also the runner-up at that year's Twin Cities Marathon.[7]
He was further down the rankings in his first two marathons of 2013, coming 14th at the Tiberias Marathon and eighth at the Chongqing Marathon,[4] but he made a surprise breakthrough at the Amsterdam Marathon with a performance of 2:06:09 hours to finish runner-up to the defending champion Wilson Chebet.[8]
In 2019, he was the 11th finisher at the Daegu International Marathon in Daegu, South Korea. His time was 2:14:50.[9]
