MARATHONS Vs RUNS
I’ve realized that many runs in Uganda are referred to as Marathons.
Of course as a seasoned runner with Tens of Marathons and Ultra-Marathons around the globe; It disturbs me to see someone with a 5km run calling it a Marathon.
For clarity; a marathon is a long-distance road race of exactly 42.195 kms (26 miles 385 yards).
That distance is the official standard set by World Athletics (formerly the IAAF).
The very first person to complete this distance 490 BC actually collapsed and died at end. So anyone can run, but not everyone can do a 42.195km
Give it a shot @TheGuluMarathon on Dec 5, 2026!

To avoid interfering with accelerated construction at @mandelastadium we have decided to move the venue for the @imarathonug to Metroplex, Naalya the home of @gutsybunch our partner club. The date remains this Sunday October 4th & the route is still the Northern By Pass. We finalized arrangements with @PolicUg to make sure you are all safe & one side of the road is closed to motor traffic. Let’s get together with @stanbicug @OldMutualUganda @TMR_IntHospital @MinofHealthUG to #SaveAMother #DonateBlood & support Mengo Hospital Blood Bank

These destinations present significant opportunities in business, trade, tourism, and investment, key drivers of air transport demand. These new cities remain under-connected to much of Eastern and Southern Africa and are currently unserved by Uganda. #FlytheCrane

Omera thanks for asking. We have resolved to have @TheGuluMarathon every first Saturday of December every year. This year , we have fixed it to take place on the 5th December 2026 in Gulu. The idea is to close the running year in Gulu and open the Christmas season to with great fun 🩷

Today, our leader @FGimara participated in the Menstrual Hygiene Run in Gulu, championing the cause of menstrual dignity, awareness, and empowerment for girls and women. Together, we run for a healthier and more inclusive future. Every step taken today was a step toward breaking stigma, raising awareness, and creating a more informed and supportive community. 💙🏃♂️🩸

The cause for menstrual hygiene was perfect to let the girls in our lives know , we are learning to support them in all ways possible. The personal record is a call for us Dads and men do so faster than we have always done so. #4her #menstrualhygieneday #Gulumarathon 2026

Before the sweat could fully dry, the call came through: training has started. On to the next one. This year, our 15 troops returned with 14 medals and 1 DNF. We celebrate the finishers, salute the fighter who fell short, and take the lessons forward. We go again in 2027.
