About the Uganda Marathon
The race is the finale of a week built around locally led projects and time in Masaka. Runners pass schools and community initiatives they have encountered during the trip, giving the course a connection that goes beyond race morning.
Course
The 42K uses two laps of rugged trails and rolling terrain around Masaka. Repeated climbs, uneven footing, and exposed stretches under the equatorial sun make this a strength-and-patience course rather than a personal-best setup.
Race-day weather
Masaka is warm year-round, and humidity can add weight to the hills even when race morning begins comfortably. Strong sun and a passing shower are both possible, so steady hydration matters early.
