Uganda’s tourism and sports scene is heating up as the Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon 2026 team takes its message across the border.
Just weeks after the Kili International Marathon wrapped up in Moshi, Tanzania (22nd March 2026), the Ugandan squad was on the ground engaging runners and promoting one of East Africa’s most breathtaking races.
With full backing from Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Uganda High Commission in Dar es Salaam, the team successfully invited international runners to register for the Rwenzori Marathon 2026, set for Saturday, 22nd August 2026 in Kasese, Uganda.
A World Athletics Label Race Like No Other
The Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon is a certified World Athletics Label Road Race and an official qualifier for the Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town. Runners can choose from:
- Full Marathon (42.2 km)
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)

What makes this event unforgettable? The route crosses the Equator twice while winding through the foothills of the majestic Rwenzori Mountains – the legendary “Mountains of the Moon.”
Participants enjoy stunning views, fresh mountain air, and a unique blend of sport, nature, and cultural immersion in western Uganda.
