We're going to train at more than 2000 meters above sea level in the community of Barawa, running the same routes as Uganda's elite endurance runners and World champions. We'll make a few day-long trips up hills of Mount Elgon and to Nothern region — to the slopes of mounts Kadam and Moroto. Crossing rivers, passing waterfalls, venturing out into rural villages, watching wild life and subalpine landscapes of most peaceful countryside in Uganda. Every second day we'll find ourselves not only in different areas, but also different tribes and cultures: Sebei, Karamojongs, Tepeth, Dodoth. Culturak tour alongway with sport is a brilliant combination!

The Mount Elgon region is one of the most beautiful in Uganda, and having a run through it is simply magical. You see the town, the valleys, the rivers, the cliffs, and even some waterfalls on your way. However, it's not a run to underestimate! The altitude is noticeable, and you'll go up and down plenty of times.
