The second edition of the Mbarara City Marathon is not just about running — it is about responsibility, inclusion, and building a smarter, cleaner city.
The Mbarara City Marathon is intentionally supporting women who sell goods along the roadside by engaging them in the vision of a smart and clean Mbarara City.
“These hardworking women are part of the heartbeat of our city’s informal economy. By organizing, sensitizing, and empowering them to operate in a more structured and hygienic way during the marathon period, we are promoting both economic opportunity and urban order,” race organizer.
Tourism:
A clean city attracts tourism. A smart city supports its people. This edition of the Marathon aligns with that mission — creating awareness about sanitation, proper waste disposal, and organized trading spaces while increasing customer traffic and visibility for these women entrepreneurs.
