The story

Mother’s Day Run in Kampala

The Mother's Day Run is listed as a Kampala fun run tied to Mother's Day, a widely observed calendar holiday around which cities worldwide, including several in East Africa, commonly organize charity or family-oriented runs. This research could not independently confirm a currently active race under this name through a live website or race-listing service.

For travelers, Mother’s Day Run works best as a sporting event rooted in Kampala, Uganda, where the setting shapes the visit as much as the program.
