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.

HISTORY MADE: WHY UGANDA CRANES USED THREE GOALKEEPERS IN A SINGLE AFCON NIGHTMARE
Uganda’s AFCON run ends in a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria. The Cranes used three goalkeepers in a match that saw Salim Magoola sent off.
Uganda's run at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is over after a tough 3-1 loss to Nigeria. They didn't win a single game and are out after the group stage. Nigeria finished top of Group C with 9 points, while Uganda ended up last with only 1 point. Uganda had trouble scoring and let in the most goals, showing they still have a ways to go.
Nigeria came out strong, keeping Uganda pinned back. Their pressure paid off when Paul Onuachu scored in the 28th minute after a great pass from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, putting Nigeria ahead.
Uganda couldn't get into the game and barely created any chances. Karl Uche Ikpeazu was isolated up front. They wasted several set-piece opportunities, and captain Denis Onyango had to make a bunch of saves. He even needed treatment a few times before being subbed out at halftime.
Things got worse in the 57th minute when Onyango's replacement, Salim Jamal Magoola, got a red card for handling the ball outside the box while trying to stop Victor Osimhen. Uganda was down to ten men.
Nafian Alionzi came in, making Uganda the first team in the tournament to use three goalkeepers in one game.
Nigeria took advantage of the situation, and Raphael Onyedika scored twice in the 62nd and 66th minutes, making it 3-0. Game over for Uganda.
Uganda managed to pull one back in the 75th minute when Rogers Kassim Mato scored after a nice play with Allan Okello. It got the 11,545 fans excited, but Nigeria just slowed the game down and won easily.
With this win, Nigeria finished Group C undefeated. Uganda finished last, having let in the most goals in the group.
In the other game, Tanzania drew 1-1 with Tunisia. This meant that both teams, along with Nigeria, moved on. Tanzania made it to the Round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.
Uganda lost 3-1 to Tunisia, drew 1-1 with Tanzania, and lost 3-1 to Nigeria. They're still waiting for their first-ever win in the AFCON finals.
For head coach Joseph Paul Put, the tournament had some good moments, but it also showed that Uganda needs to be more consistent, disciplined, and clinical to compete at the highest level.
TUESDAY PREVIEW: PAUL PUT PREPARES UGANDA FOR DECISIVE FINAL AFCON GROUP CLASH
Uganda must beat Nigeria to reach the AFCON 2025 knockouts. Discover Paul Put’s strategy and Jordan Obita’s call for belief in Fes.
Paul Put's team is heading to Stade de Fes, aiming for a win. This victory could get them into the round of 16 either as Group C's second-place team or as one of the top four third-place teams in the 24-team contest.
"We're up against a really good team," Put said. They were in the final at the last Cup of Nations, and they've won both matches here in Morocco.
We know how good the Nigerian players are. A lot of them play in big leagues in Europe, so we need to be super focused.
But we know what's at stake. It won't be easy; it will be tough. But if we put in the effort, anything's possible.
Tunisia is playing Tanzania in Rabat on Tuesday night. They beat Uganda 3-1 in their first game on December 23.
In their second game, Uganda drew 1-1 with Tanzania after Allan Okello missed a late penalty.
"We had a great chance to win," said Uganda defender Jordan Obita. But it didn't happen.
We can't be scared of going into the Nigeria game. We have to believe we can do something, and that's what we're going to do.
Uganda reached the last 16 in 2019 in Egypt—the first time the Africa Cup of Nations had 24 teams.
But the country's teams didn't make it into the competitions in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire after that.
In 2027, Uganda will host the event with Kenya and Uganda. Obita mentioned that the players in the Uganda team want to show what they're made of at the 2025 contest.
"Everyone back home in Uganda needs to see that we can compete with the best countries in the world," said the 32-year-old, who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership.
When we played Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers, it showed we can go head-to-head with top-tier countries and players.
Nigeria's coach, Eric Chelle, was secretive on Monday about who would be on his team Tuesday night.
"I'm keeping my plans to myself," said the 48-year-old former Mali player. A lot of players deserve a chance on this team.
I make hard choices for every match. I've got two or three teams in mind.
