The 16th edition of the MTN Marathon took place today at the Kololo Independence grounds in Kampala. Runners from all walks of life took part in the 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km and 5km races. A total of UGX 129 million was given out in prizes.
This year the goal was to raise funds to improve maternal health in Uganda and the runners did a good job turning up in big numbers at approximately 35,000 people.
Away from the very serious part of the MTN Marathon, entertainment was a big part of today. Musicians Vinka, John Blaq, Fresh Kid, Levixone, Spice Diana among others were at hand to entertain marathoners at the end of the races.
Levixone hit the stage first lighting up everyone’s mood with his gospel ballads. When it was time for Chikibombe, everyone turned thier running shoes into dancing shoes giving off a great sight of celebration.
Next was Vinka followed by Fresh Kif and finally Spice. We have the photos from the entertainment part of the Marathon. Enjoy.
