Giving Opportunity | Run So A Mother Can Come Home

This October, the 2nd Independence Marathon is giving Ugandans an opportunity to turn every kilometre into support for safer motherhood.

Running under the theme “Save a Mother,” the marathon will raise resources to strengthen maternal healthcare at Mengo Hospital. Whether you take on 5km, 10km, 21km or the full 42km, participation becomes part of a larger effort to ensure more mothers have access to the care they need before, during and after childbirth.

The marathon takes place on Sunday, 4th October 2026, starting and finishing at Mandela National Stadium, with the Northern Bypass forming part of the race route.

A run may last a morning. The difference it helps make for a mother and her family can last a lifetime.

What if the kilometres you run could help another mother make it safely home?
