The Uganda Marathon is a 7-day adventure in beautiful, rural Africa. Whilst the marathon is the culmination of this amazing experience, the real uniqueness of this event comes from the week spent engaging with projects and the local communities that the marathon supports.

During this amazing week, you’ll need somewhere to lay your weary head, and we have a couple of different options that you can choose for accommodation during the week long trip:

The Glade

The Glade is a beautiful relaxation and social area, purpose-built for The Uganda Marathon race week. It’s a place to grab a drink, swap stories from the day beside the campfire, and generally relax with your fellow runners after a long day exploring Uganda and connecting with the local community.

No matter which package you register for, you’ll have full access to the Glade as well as the facilities of your own accommodation. The site includes:

  • A campfire with seating that is lit each night
  • A fully stocked bar with a variety of cold Ugandan drinks

The Glade is just a short 1-2 minute walk from your accommodation.
