Hashing, a form of non-competitive cross-country running whose main objective is working up a decent thirst with great emphasis placed on the social aspects, has grown popular in Kampala.
It has been popularized by Kampala Hash House Harriers, who host weekly runs across Kampala that attract runners, walkers, and newcomers looking to explore new trails and enjoy an inclusive community.
With the major event scheduled for Saturday, November 29, one of Africa’s leading sports betting and entertainment brands, Betika, has announced a 10 million shillings sponsorship for the Kampala Hash House Harriers (KH3) Hash Bash 2025.
“Hash Bash represents the spirit of Kampala: movement, energy, and togetherness. We are proud to support an event that brings people outdoors, builds friendships, and promotes healthier lifestyles. We want to be present where Kampala moves and connects, not just where it bets,” Desire Akanduhura, the Marketing Lead at Betika Uganda, said.
The sponsorship includes Betika-branded jerseys for all participants, support for event logistics, and participation in the annual gala. The partnership underscores Betika’s dedication to promoting active living and community wellness in Kampala.
“Hash Bash is about fun, fitness, and community. Having Betika on board helps elevate this year’s event and ensures more runners can enjoy the day. We look forward to welcoming everyone at Silver Springs on the 29th [November],” Wilson George Asiimwe, Hash Master of KH3, said.
The run will start from Silver Springs Hotel in Bugolobi.
Hash Bash is the annual celebration of KH3, a vibrant group that brings people together through weekly runs, trail adventures, and social connections across Kampala.
