Kampala is set to pulse with energy on Sunday, 19th April 2026, as the Legends Marathon returns for its third edition.
Conceived by Ugandan sports journalist Andrew Mwanguhya through Impact Sport, this family-friendly mass-participation event is now officially on the Uganda Athletics National Calendar.
Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner chasing a personal best or a first-timer looking for inspiration, the Legends Marathon 2026 offers something for everyone: 5km, 10km, 21km (half marathon), and the full 42km distances.
“I’m running for my daughters. There’s no limit.”
That powerful message comes straight from Ugandan runner Christelle Uwacu in the official event video. Her words capture the spirit of the day: every runner has a reason, every step carries a story.
The marathon honours retired athletes and supports their transition through the “Beyond the Finish” programme, offering entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, mental health support and more.
This is not just a race but a movement that transforms lives through sport while embracing Uganda’s future.
