6th October 2013:
Kids of Africa Race
At Bwerenga, 5 km off Kawuku, along Kampala-Entebbe Highway
The top performers at the 3rd Edition of the Kids of Africa race slated for 6th October 2013 will definitely have some smile at the end of business.
This is after there is a guarantee of sharing the over Shs 4,800,000 staked by the organizers towards the top three athletes in each of the three categories (21km, 10 km and the 5 km races).
“Such incentives are to morale boost the racers and reward them as a fair token for their sweat”, says Alex Matovu, general manager of Activate Uganda, one of the partners in the race organization.
Ug shs 100,000 will go to the best performer which the second best will pocket 75,000 and the second runners up taking 50,000 while for the under 10’s who will race in the 5 km race will pocket 75,000, 50,000 and 25,000 in the top 3 positions respectively.
