The organizers of the annual Mbarara City Marathon have received a huge boost prior to the event.

“We appreciate Nyakayojo SACCO LTD for supporting the Mbarara City Marathon with a generous contribution of UGX 10 Million towards our cause” a communication highlighted.

The support was received by the marathon communications officer and operations Director.
“The support goes beyond financial commitment—it reflects true belief in community empowerment, healthy living, and building a smart and clean Mbarara City. Together, we are not just organizing a race; we are advancing a cause that uplifts women selling goods on the roadside and strengthens local economic resilience. We value this partnership and look forward to running this journey together for a greater impact.”
The second edition of the Mbarara City Marathon is not just about running — it is about responsibility, inclusion, and building a smarter, cleaner city.
The Mbarara City Marathon is intentionally supporting women who sell goods along the roadside by engaging them in the vision of a smart and clean Mbarara City.
“These hardworking women are part of the heartbeat of our city’s informal economy. By organizing, sensitizing, and empowering them to operate in a more structured and hygienic way during the marathon period, we are promoting both economic opportunity and urban order.” Race organizer.
Tourism:
A clean city attracts tourism. A smart city supports its people. This edition of the Marathon aligns with that mission — creating awareness about sanitation, proper waste disposal, and organized trading spaces while increasing customer traffic and visibility for these women entrepreneurs.
