Uganda International Marathon is an incredible race in rural Uganda, where we can explore the stunning scenery and support fantastic grassroots projects. Choose from a 10 k., 21 k. or 42 k. race, and join us in making a powerful impact on the community.

The program of our camp precedes the marathon is focuced on moderately intensive training, contemplation of the wild nature and in-deep cultural and etnographical exploration of Uganda. We start our camp on the Nile and a couple of days later we'll drive to a high altitude of Rwenzori slopes, which feed various tributaries of the Nile, so you can call it the actual source of that longest on our planet river.

Hiking, meditations, trekking chimpanzees, visiting peaceful local tribes, mountaineering will accompany our dayly runnig sessions. For the most enduring athlets we offer a 3-days climbing to Mutinda Lookout with an elevation of 3.975 m. or Weismann's Peak at 4.620 m. with increadible views to the main peak of Mt. Stanley.
