Giving Digest | Team Matooke’s Independence Marathon - Giving Through Running

What began as a monthly Kampala–Entebbe run has grown into a national celebration of health, unity, and giving. Team Matooke and the running clubs have transformed their love for sport into a platform for community impact, combining marathons with CSR like tree-planting and environmental care. Now, with the launch of the Kampala–Entebbe Independence Marathon, this tradition is set to inspire thousands more to run for a cause, celebrate the nation, and give back to society in a meaningful way.

The marathon is proof that giving can be joyful, even fun. Every registration fee, every kilometre run, and every tree planted is a contribution to healthier bodies and stronger communities. This Independence Day, don’t just wave the flag, lace up and give through running. Register, sponsor a runner, or volunteer at the event. Your participation will help build a culture of health, generosity, and national pride. Give today, because every step counts toward a stronger Uganda.
