Rugumayo’s win is Uganda’s, but this moment belongs to @ObukamaBwaTooro the kingdom that raised him, to the people who shaped him, and to the legacy that lives on through its sons.
Rest well, Omukama. Your kingdom has shown the fairway what it is made of.

#DYK: Pepsi was created by an American pharmacist in 1893? Today, @PepsiUganda powers the Ugandan economy through 200,000+ trade retailers, 1,000+ direct jobs, sponsors sports events, & is among @URAuganda's top taxpayers. 250 years of American innovation, powering locally-owned businesses. #Freedom250
"U.S. investors have options, & global firms usually pick just one regional base. Uganda can make its case as the region's crossroads, breadbasket, energy exporter, and gateway to the DRC and South Sudan." What do you think makes Uganda stand out as a regional trade hub?
Kasese: Where the Rwenzori Marathon Meets the Heart of the Pearl of Africa.
Kasese is more than the destination for the @RwenzoriMarathn, it is a gateway to one of Uganda’s most extraordinary tourism experiences. On 22 August 2026, runners and visitors will arrive in a destination where dramatic mountain landscapes, wildlife, culture, adventure and genuine Ugandan hospitality come together.
Before the marathon:
Experience Kasese and Uganda at large.
Arriving early isn't just about preparing for race day, it's an opportunity to experience the destination before you run.
#Kasese sits beneath the magnificent #RwenzoriMountains, offering spectacular scenery and a completely different side of Uganda. Visitors can explore the surrounding communities, discover local culture and cuisine, enjoy nature experiences and use Kasese as a base for some of Western Uganda's most iconic attractions.
For adventure seekers, the region offers opportunities around the Rwenzori Mountains. For #wildlife lovers, Queen #ElizabethNationalPark is nearby, with opportunities to encounter elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos and a remarkable diversity of birdlife.
And for those looking for something slower, the landscapes around Kasese crater lakes, hills, farms and communities offer countless opportunities to simply stop, breathe and appreciate Uganda.

RWENZORI MARATHON 2026
PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK - Hon @OgwangOgwang
WORLD LABEL ROAD RACE
Yesterday even, hon @OgwangOgwang calls me and says Amos, I realize people don’t know the magnitude of what RWENZORI MARATHON can become.
He adds, I have engaged many other ministers and extensively discussed @RwenzoriMarathn as an international event and what support it needs.
Beyond money, Rwenzori marathon needs many things,
1 - security, when New York marathon is happening, national guard is involved because many countries are involved
2- Medical facilities, kasese, Fortportal and mbarara need enhanced medical facilities for runners because world athletics is strict with this.
3- ministry of works for road clearances and making sure the world certified route is in top conditions.
4- ministry of trade and investments, the people who come for Rwenzori Marathon, many are very high profile, won’t mention some who came last year.
5 - ministry of internal affairs for quicker clearances
6- agriculture, food is one of the biggest beneficiaries during this international marathon called Rwenzori marathon.
7- Quality of accommodations in kasese, Fortportal , mbarara must go up since we shall be able to fill accommodations even in Mbarara next year God willing if no silly EBOLA stories.
Hon @OgwangOgwang conclusion yesterday evening.
1- today first item on order paper for parliament is @RwenzoriMarathn
2- Cabinet will discuss @RwenzoriMarathn on Monday
THERE IS A REASON THERE ARE ONLY 7 world athletics label race marathons in whole of Africa.
Our target is for Uganda to have ELITE LABEL and we have done everything humanly speaking to prepare for this!
Next weekend, the top highlights of world athletics in media terms are DIAMOND LEAUGE, CONTINENTAL TOUR AND RWENZORI MARATHON
