Today, on 24th February 2017, marks a very special time – it’s only 100 days until Race Day and we couldn’t be more excited here at the UGM!

In a hundred days, our International Runners will have been in Africa for almost a week, where they will have visited the Charity Projects they’ve been supporting. They’ll have volunteered, experienced the festival feel of Athlete’s Village, made new friends and got to know the local Uganda culture. Then on June 4th, they’ll be running the most incredible race of their lives – a 10K, 21K or 42K through beautiful, rural Uganda – all for very special causes which matter to them!

If you’re joining us in June (or snap up one of our final few places), then here’s a ‘photoblog special’ to start getting you excited about your upcoming 7-Day Adventure. We’ve picked out 100 great photos to celebrate the UGM and what YOU yourself will be experiencing in one hundred days time…

 

In 100 days, you’ll travel to Africa…
