Run to Save a Mother is the powerful theme of the 2026 Independence Marathon (I-Marathon / Uhuru Marathon).
Date: Sunday, 4 October 2026
Start & Finish: Mandela National Stadium, Namboole
Route: Northern Bypass (out-and-back)

This year’s focus is safe motherhood — raising awareness and funds to fight postpartum haemorrhage (the leading preventable cause of maternal death in Uganda) and support maternal health services at Mengo Hospital, including the maternity blood bank.
Every step counts.
Every runner, walker, and supporter is part of the movement to protect Ugandan mothers.
We don’t just sweat, we run to change lives. 👇
