A delegation of sports enthusiasts from Uganda participated in the Two Oceans Marathon, which is taking place in Cape Town from 10th to 11th April 2026. The delegation is led by Amb. Paul Amoru, the High Commissioner of Uganda in South Africa, and it included athletes and sports tourism enthusiasts from Uganda. The two-ocean marathon participation provided an opportunity to launch and market the Rwenzori Marathon to the world. On the sidelines of the test run, Ugandan waragi and coffee were receiving significant attention from SA participants.

The Rwenzori Marathon is a signature marathon held annually in Uganda's western city of Kasese, where the famous snowcapped Rwenzori Marathon is located. It gathers thousands of participants from all over the world. Hundreds of South Africans are expected to participate in this signature event scheduled for 22nd August 2026 in Kasese town, western Uganda.

The High Commission will be holding the Rwenzori Marathon launch run in Pretoria, South Africa, in June 2026 at a date to be communicated soon. We cordially invite you to join us at these two important events.
