Ahead of its second edition, which will take place at Gulu's Kaunda Grounds on December 6, 2025, Tusker Lite has announced a collaboration with the Gulu City Marathon.

The premium beer brand, which is well-known for boosting running and lifestyle events in Uganda, is bringing its distinctive vibrancy to the northern metropolis, promising runners and partygoers a culturally immersive, entertaining, and fitness-infused experience.

By encouraging active living and community involvement, the brand hopes to increase its impact in Uganda's running scene and build on the success of the Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon, which was hosted in Kasese in August.

Denise Nazzinda, Uganda Breweries Limited's Brand Manager for Tusker Lite, said the partnership exemplifies the company's dedication to bringing people together via common experiences.
The Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon demonstrated to us that running can foster community and provide lifelong memories in addition to physical fitness. We want to bring that same spirit to Gulu and make this marathon even more spectacular," Nazzinda stated.

The 42-kilometre full marathon, 21-kilometre half marathon, 10-kilometre, and 5-kilometre fun and family runs will all be part of the Gulu City Marathon, which has the theme Running for Culture and Heritage. The Great North Run Company is organising the event, which is expected to draw over 1,000 people and promote running tradition in northern Uganda as well as culture and health.

The day will end with an after-party at which Tusker Lite will treat runners and supporters to a VIP event honouring accomplishment and the exciting nightlife of Gulu.
People often run in the morning and then go home for most marathons. This is not just a race; we want to make it more. It will be a celebration of uniqueness, growth, and community," Nazzinda continued.

Medals will be awarded to all finishers, and registered participants will receive a personalised event T-shirt and string bag for UGX 60,000.

The collaboration strengthens Tusker Lite's theme of living fearlessly and savouring life to the fullest and represents another phase in the company's expanding support for Uganda's fitness and lifestyle events.

LIFE AFTER OKELLO: HOW ABDULKARIM WATAMBALA BECAME VIPERS' NEW MIDFIELD COMMANDER

Vipers SC dismantled Police FC 4-1 at Kitende, led by a stunning AbdulKarim Watambala goal to extend their lead at the UPL summit.

Watambala’s screamer against Police trending as UPL Goal of the Season

Vipers came out flying, up 3-0 by halftime against a stunned Police squad. Once again, AbdulKarim Watambala pulled the strings in midfield, making everything tick.

With this 4-1 thumping at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Vipers held onto their three-point lead at the top of the Startimes Uganda Premier League heading into the last games of the first round.

Honestly, what was supposed to be a top-of-the-table clash turned into a breeze for the defending champions. They probably played their best half of football since Ivan Minnaert took over as head coach last July.

Watambala, who’s looked like a new man since his close friend Allan Okello left, set up the opener for Milton Karisa with a clever through ball. Karisa made no mistake, poking the ball past a scrambling Mathias Muwanga in the 32nd minute.

Then came the moment of the night. Watambala picked up a pass from Enoch Ssebagala just outside the box, and with police defenders backing off, he smashed a rocket in off the underside of the crossbar. That was his third goal in two games, after his brace in Saturday’s 3-0 win over URA.

Right before halftime, Odili Chukwuma put the game to bed, heading in Usama Arafat’s cross after nutmegging Richard Matovu.

Police barely threatened all evening, but Saidi Kyeyune managed to pull one back with a low shot just four minutes into the second half. It didn’t matter much. Vipers stretched their lead again in the 77th minute, when substitute Yunus Sentamu headed the ball across for Usama to tap in their fourth.

The win pushes the Vipers to 33 points. Police drop to third with 27. KCCA move into second place after brushing aside UPDF 4-0. Sammy Ssebaduka grabbed two goals, with Joel Sserunjogi and substitute Alpha Ssali also on the scoresheet.

Vipers, KCCA, and Police tied on points

After beating Calvary, Police moved up to second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. KCCA didn't score against Maroons, and Entebbe UPPC beat UPDF, keeping the title race close on match day 13.

Police grabbed second place in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after a 2-0 win against Calvary at Kiira Road on Wednesday.

Breaks during the season are usually a time for teams to regroup and let players rest after many games in a short time. But for the Uganda Premier League, there hasn't been much going on since mid-December, partly because of the 2025 AFCON.

Today's game between Maroons and KCCA in Luzira was different. Both teams seemed out of practice, which might explain the dull game that ended with no score.

Neither team seemed ready to push for a win, and there were few chances to score.

KCCA and Maroons each played one game between December 17 and today, losing to Police and Buhimba United Saints, respectively. That's just one game in 35 days.

Maroons played a physical game, preventing KCCA from controlling the ball and playing their usual style. This could be why coach Brian Ssenyondo took out Ashraf Mugume and Saidi Mayanja at halftime, replacing them with Brian Jjara and Derrick Nsibambi.

The home team kept KCCA away from the goal, and even when they brought in another striker, Emmanuel Anyama, later in the second half, they didn't get many chances.

Maroons defended well as a team to earn a point, putting them in seventh place with 16 points.

For KCCA FC, this result is a setback in their chase for the title. They are tied for first place with 27 points, the same as Police, who beat Calvary FC, and Vipers, who have two games left.

Wednesday's results:

Maroons 0-0 KCCA

Police 2-0 Calvary

UPDF 0-1 Entebbe UPPC
