Among the headline names is British endurance runner Nick Butter, who has already completed 1,067 marathons. This weekend’s race will be his 1,068th, after also competing in last year’s Mt Rwenzori edition. Speaking in Kampala, Butter praised the event’s unique setting.

“Last year, it was a really good experience. You’re surrounded by mountain peaks, some of the most amazing scenery, and the unique thing about it is that it starts at the Equator. Running in a game park is also a unique experience because back at home, we don’t have races like this,” he said.

South African long-distance runner and content creator Sipho Marima, making his first visit to Uganda, also expressed excitement. “Thank you for such a warm welcome, Uganda. It’s truly a privilege to experience this hospitality. I’m excited about the marathon and looking forward to exploring the Pearl of Africa,” he said.

Also in the country is British sports commentator Rob Walker, who will be running alongside his family for the second time after debuting in 2022.

Amos Wekesa, the team lead for the event, said the influx of international runners underlines the marathon’s global appeal. “Their participation not only raises the profile of the Tusker Lite Mt Rwenzori Marathon but also shines a spotlight on Uganda’s natural beauty and the vibrant local businesses that support such events,” he noted.

Tusker Lite Brand Manager Denise Paula Nazzinda described the marathon as a celebration of fitness, adventure, and culture. “The Tusker Lite Mt Rwenzori Marathon has truly grown into a world-class event. It brings people together from across the world while also supporting local communities and businesses,” she said.

This year’s edition is expected to draw nearly 6,000 runners from up to 50 countries, making it the biggest since its launch.

Organizers have promised eco-friendly operations, a lively festival atmosphere, and strong support for local tourism and businesses.
