They have been advised to follow the official route designed for the three races lined up on the day in the 5, 10 and 21 kilometres categories. Buganda Kingdom sports minister, Henry Ssekabembe said;

The route has been out for weeks now and we advise the runners to follow it so that they do not get lost. Besides, we have route marshals that will guide the runners
