- Where is the race packet pick-up?
- Packet pick-up usually takes place at the race village in Kasese town on the Thursday and Friday before race day. Bring your digital registration confirmation and ID.
- What is the terrain like for the 42km?
- The course is undulating with a significant elevation gain as it heads toward the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains. Expect paved roads but challenging 'rollers'.
- How do I get from Entebbe to Kasese?
- You can take a domestic flight from Entebbe (EBB) to Kasese Airstrip (KSE) via AeroLink, or a 6-7 hour private transfer/bus via the Mbarara or Fort Portal routes.
- Is there water provided on the course?
- Yes, there are hydration stations every 2.5km to 5km offering water and Tusker Lite-sponsored electrolyte drinks, but carrying a personal handheld bottle is recommended due to the humidity.
- What is the gear requirement?
- Road running shoes are sufficient as the course is primary tarmac, but sun protection (hat, sunscreen) is vital as there is little shade in the Kasese valley.
- Are there cut-off times?
- Yes, the full marathon typically has a 6-hour cut-off time to ensure athlete safety before the midday heat peaks.
- Can I hire a bike for training?
- Kasese has limited professional bike shops; it is best to bring your own equipment if you plan to cycle, though local 'boda-bodas' are the primary transport.
