Your week of adventure, culture and volunteering
Visiting other ActionAid projects
Extend your trip after the race and we can arrange for you to visit nearby ActionAid projects to get a broader insight into our work in Uganda.
About Uganda
- ActionAid began work in Uganda in 1982. We work in 50 districts across the country, supporting communities in the poorest and most remote areas.
- In recent years, Uganda has transformed itself from a country with a troubled past to one of relative stability.
- The Uganda Marathon will take place in Masaka, about 2 hours drive southwest of the capital of Kampala.
The weather and running conditions
The weather has never been an issue for competitors. The race takes place at the end of the rainy season, which brings cooler temperatures of an average 25 celsius. Plenty of water stations and suncream dot the course.
How much does it cost?
This is a self-funded challenge, which means that you will pay for the trip costs and all the money you raise will come directly to ActionAid. The costs for your challenge vary depending on the style of accommodation you choose.
