We were so happy this year to partner with Green Action For Sustainable Production to ensure we left Kasese CLEANER than we found it.

Principles of “leave no trace” are critical for a race that still needs to hydrate runners to avoid medical emergencies.

GASP OYE! 💚💚

The winner of the 2026 Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon takes home UGX 40 million. Last year it was UGX 10 million. We’ve quadrupled it.

Here’s the full picture:
🏃 Marathon (42km): UGX 40M / 20M / 10M — paid six deep
🏃 Half Marathon (21km): UGX 15M / 10M / 6M — paid six deep

The same money for men and women, at every position, in every distance. Equal prize money regardless of s*x or nationality is a World Athletics standard, and one we’re proud to meet.

Why put this much on the line? We want a Ugandan runner in Kasese to know that if they’re good enough, there’s real money and a real stage waiting for them at home. And we want the best runners from Kenya, Ethiopia and beyond to look at this race and decide Kasese is worth the journey.

This is one step in a longer plan. We hold a World Athletics Label, and the goal is to climb to Elite, then Gold — the tier of the world’s biggest marathons. Bigger purse, stronger fields, year on year.

☀️ Shakeout run with Marco's Gym and Spa UG right in the middle of taper week. Hydration points up along the route, runners easing into their last short efforts before Kasese. After the run: breakfast, BBQ, music, and kit pickup.

This is our third year running this with Marco’s. Same energy every time.

This is where our marathon begins: 0° 0′ 0″ N, 30° 5′ 20″ E, on the Equator itself, next to the monument inside Queen Elizabeth National Park.

And it’s where the 2026 kit begins too.

Kasese sits between the peaks of the Rwenzori and the savannah of Queen Elizabeth National Park, and we wanted the shirt to carry that whole landscape rather than just a logo. So the Equator monument rises against the sun on the front. The Rwenzori foothills run through the design. And if you trace the fabric you’ll find the topographic contour lines of the mountains, Kilembe hill included, mapped onto the kit so you’ll remember the hill long after you’ve recovered from the climb.

Then the details to find: the sun over the savannah at the start, the Tusker Lite elephant, and a quiet mark for our fifth year. Tusker Lite on the left sleeve, the Ugandan flag on the right.

And the kit goes beyond the shirt — a lightweight cap, a belt for your phone and gels, a drawstring bag, and a few surprises you’ll find when you pick it up yourself.
Made to wear all day, every day.
