Ugandan Marathon (UM) 25th May - 1st June 2025
We have the most amazing opportunity for our supporters to run a 10km, half and full marathon in Uganda.

The Biggest Annual Race
Uganda is the home of distance running and this is its biggest annual race with 5,000 people joining in and bringing it’s trademark African atmosphere with it – joking, laughing, singing and high-fiving – we guarantee you’ve never experienced a run like this.
Each route – 10k, half and full marathon – will take you up and down hills, through beautiful rolling terrain and some of Uganda’s most stunning scenery.
This isn’t just any old marathon though – this is a week long adventure! You’re invited to spend the week exploring Uganda including visiting some of the projects the marathon supports, and experiencing African hospitality at its finest! You can even add gorilla trekking and safari extensions to your itinerary.
