The second edition of Run for Birds brought together runners, families, and nature lovers at Sheraton Kampala Hotel, all moving for one cause.
Hosted as part of our Marriott's Serve 360 sustainability program and in partnership with Avian Conservation Uganda, this event is about more than a run. It's about raising awareness and backing the conservation of the birds that make our country special.

We joined conservationists for the #RunForBirds2026 organised by @acus_uganda. This year's run highlighted the plight of our national bird, the Grey Crowned Crane threatened by the destruction of their habitat. Birds are a major symbol of our heritage.
