Also returning this year are the glow accessories which captured the imagination at the inaugural event, with a well-lit route completing the “Lite the Way” theme of main sponsors Tusker Lite.
After the run is done, the flag-off point; Torino Bar will be converted into a party venue as it will host the run’s after-party.
“We are really excited about the return of the Tusker Lite Kampala Night Run. It was huge last year and we are looking forward to bringing friends together yet again to break a sweat while having fun at the same time,” said Cathy Twesigye, UBL Brand Manager, Premium Beers.

Jose Chameleone cleans up Twitter, follows only two Ugandan artistes, your guess is as good as ours.
By Reporter
After being unfollowed by the President or rather his administrator, Jose Chameleone has not taken Twitter lightly. The singer has done some cleaning up and has been left with only 108 accounts to follow and only two of those are Ugandan artistes.
It is not rocket science that Chameleone only decides to follow his two brothers Pallaso and Radio&Weasel, had it been any others maybe we would be wondering the criteria he used.
Chameleone is one of the most followed Ugandan artistes on Twitter and not following you may not go so well with you as an artiste.
