“This marathon is not just about running. Every kilometer of this run touches on themes that matter to our country. I commend UNDP and all partners for recognizing that this is not just about sports, but a powerful force for development.” - H.E. Judyth Nsababera

For most Ugandans sport is the bridge from humble beginnings to extraordinary achievements This is not just an about sports, it’s a powerful tool for development. — Amb. Judyth Nsababera, Ugandan Ambassador in China Guangzhou #UNDPElgonHalfMarathon #RunwithJoshua

“This isn’t just a run — it’s a journey of responsibility. In 2024, over 4,400 trees were planted in schools and communities across Amudat, Tororo, and the wider Elgon region. This year, we aim higher — to grow 6,000 trees and even deeper community engagement.” - @NwanneObahor
