GULU MARATHON HITS GLOBAL STANDARD WITH WORLD ATHLETICS ROUTE MEASURER
Over 1,500 runners are set for the Gulu City Marathon. Deputy Speaker Tayebwa and star Halima Nakaayi will flag off the 21KM and 42KM races themed "Culture and Heritage."
Thomas Tayebwa, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, will kick off the half-marathon (21 km) at the Gulu City Marathon. This year's theme is “Running for Culture and Heritage” and includes a 42 km full marathon, a 21 km half marathon, a 10 km run, and 5 km fun runs for families. Everyone who finishes gets a medal to celebrate their hard work.
Ugandan 800M star Halima Nakaayi is set to attend the second Gulu City Marathon on Saturday, December 6th, 2025.
Nakaayi, who won gold at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games and the 2019 World Championships, and Ambassador Olara Otunnu will signal the start of the 42 km run at Kaunda Grounds.
Just back from the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), Nakaayi has stated that she will be there.
Francis Gimara, chairperson of the Gulu City Marathon steering committee, mentioned this during a press conference at Kampala Club, Limited.
Gimara told the media that Halima Nakaayi and Ambassador Olara Otunnu would start the 42 km race. Thomas Tayebwa, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, will start the 21 km race.
He also thanked the partners and stakeholders that joined the team, such as Uganda Baati, Equity Bank, Uganda Airlines, National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), CFAO Mobility, Suzuki, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), Krystal Water, National Information Technology Authority (NITA), Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), and Swangz Avenue.
Gimara said that he appreciated all the partners who had come together to support the event and that over 1,500 runners had crowded. They had initially expected about 1,000 runners but ended up registering 1,500. They actually sold out a few days before the event, which shows how much people care about running and their health, which is what the marathon is all about.
Gimara said that things like security and getting the course ready have been handled.
Gavin Wright, a World Athletics route measurer in Africa, checked out the course this year. He also checked out the Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon route in Kasese before World Athletics gave it their approval. Gimara added that the race will have a global timing system this year, with timers already there.
Different categories:
The Gulu City Marathon, themed “Running for Culture and Heritage,” will have a 42 km full marathon, a 21 km half marathon, a 10 km run, and a 5 km fun run for families.
Everyone who finishes their race will get a medal to celebrate what they did.
Tusker Lite will bring fun to Gulu.
The brand will host the marathon after-party with a VIP experience with performances by local and national artists, refreshments, and a fun party.
Denise Nazzinda, the Tusker Lite Brand Manager at Uganda Breweries Ltd., said that they are ready to party in Gulu.
Nazzinda said that Tusker Lite is set to add life to Gulu with a fun after-party.
Uganda Baati, which has a location in Gulu, will host a medical camp.
The marathon continues to give back through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
10% of the money made will go to the Martin Aliker Youth Skilling Centre in Abole, Omoro District.

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.
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.
UPL UPDATES: KCCA FC HELD IN LUZIRA WHILE POLICE FC CLOSE THE GAP AT TOP
Police FC move to second after beating Calvary, while KCCA is held to a goalless draw by Maroons in a rusty MD13 clash.
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
