Giving Digest: Every Step Funds a Dream
The 2025 Gulu City Marathon turned sport into a giving engine, drawing nearly 1,500 participants at Kaunda Grounds, where Allan Andiema defended his title (2:17:16) and winners across categories were celebrated, but the bigger win was what the race makes possible for the community. Beyond the medals, the marathon channels support into Northern Uganda’s wellbeing and future: partners hosted add-ons like a medical camp, and the marathon’s charity impact includes a UGX 10,000,000 donation to the Dero Kwan Initiative (a scholarship effort supporting vulnerable children in Acholi). In other words, every registration, sponsorship, and cheer can translate into school fees, healthier families, and pride in culture that keeps communities standing.
