RWENZORI MARATHON 2026 MONEY IDEAS FOR YOU MAKERERE UNIVERSITY - UN GLOBAL PULSE ONE TELCOM If you have followed me for long, you will realize I love figure, if you can’t measure what you do in real figures, then you might be lying to yourself. This year, RWENZORI MARATHON worked with UN GLOBAL PULSE, MAKERERE UNIVERSITY AND one of the telcoms in Uganda. The full research findings are coming out this week according to UN GLOBAL PULSE team but some ideas below according to preliminary findings. We had over 8200 registered runners from 49 countries like I have told you and our target was 8k only for RWENZORI MARATHON 2026. Working with one telcom, the total figures of people who turned up were 37,000 and around 9.30am, there were 18k people at the finish line. 70% of the people who went to KASESE for RWENZORI MARATHON used the northern route and that’s through Mityana , Mubende, Fortportal route. 30% of the people who went to kasese for RWENZORI MARATHON 2026 used the south route and that’s through masaka, Mbarara, bushenyi. According to research ushs 500m was spent only on the routes and it’s amazing how these figures were captured, I have always told you when people move money moves. In kasese between 6am and 6pm on the day of the marathon, ushs 9bn changed hands and this is based on one telcoms( we don’t have figures from the other telcom) and this doesn’t include spend in Fortportal, bushenyi, Rubirizi , ishaka and yes some people stayed in Mbarara. When the final findings come out, my expectations of how much money was earned in total could be around ushs 37bn but let me not bias the researchers before they disclose full figures. That should include spend by runners from different borders like Malaba , Busia and Entebbe airport, spend in Kampala etc Close to 1600 went to kasese during the Rwenzori marathon and just imagine each car used ushs 700k averagely, TOTAL OR SHELL UGANDA should pick interest in Rwenzori marathon. Now that we have support from ministry of sports and education for marketing internationally specifically and aggressive marketing is on going, imagine what next year will look like God willing? @OgwangOgwang There has been a problem before every RWENZORI MARATHON time from Covid, rebel stories, Ebola twice, imagine we had one peaceful year, think of what this marathon would do to this economy?
