Let the streets of Kampala carry your footsteps as we embrace a bold fusion of Conservation awareness, Sport (running) and Sustainable Tourism.
World Gorilla Marathon will take place in the bustling streets of the Capital City of Uganda, “Kampala”, where the hills rise boldly, streets are alive with cheer, uniting eminent conservationists, athletes, and enthusiasts in the heart of Uganda, home to more than half of the world’s only remaining mountain gorillas
Experience the ultimate thrill as you journey to Southwestern Uganda, where the misty, dense and ancient jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park invite you to lock eyes with the world’s endangered and majestic species “the gorillas”
Every runner becomes an ambassador. Every ambassador becomes an advocate, and every advocate leaves behind more than footprints, “you leave behind a conservation legacy”.

“Every stride is a stand for conservation while every mile is a message of hope for our planet’s last remaining mountain gorillas”
When you run the World Gorilla Marathon, you are not merely participating but you directly empower dedicated conservation teams, equip wildlife rangers, strengthen conservation research, empower local communities, inspire global awareness and frontline guardians who risk everything to protect endangered gorillas from poaching, habitat loss, and disease. Your participation supports anti-trafficking patrols, ecological monitoring, and community-led forest protection that inspire the next generation of stewards.
Global participation uplifts indigenous and forest-adjacent communities, integrating them into sustainable eco-tourism economies that value gorillas not as a distant spectacle, but as living symbols of shared prosperity and purpose.
