The Uganda Wildlife Marathon (UWM) 2025 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at Akii Bua Stadium in Lira City.
The marathon will start at 6:30 a.m. The marathon, organized by the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife, and Antiquities, aims to raise funds for the education of fallen rangers’ children.
This event, which coincides with World Wildlife Day (March 3rd), is supported by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), and other conservation organizations.
The marathon honors rangers who died while performing their duties and gives Ugandans a chance to support wildlife conservation initiatives.
As of May 2022, more than 15 rangers had been killed by armed poachers while on duty since 2002.
UWA has announced that registration categories include: shs1,000,000 for corporate teams, shs20,000 for individual runners; student teams (20 members) at shs300,000, student teams (50 members) at shs750,000, and individual students (Primary & Secondary) at shs15,000.
In Kampala, there are designated centers at UWA, MTWA, WCU, AUTO, and Unity Radio, and the Lira City Sports Office.
