Ugandan Mountain Running Championships 2020

Extended highlights from the 2020 Ugandan Mountain Running Championships (Men's race). The race was held in Kapchorwa District - the region known as Uganda's Land of Champions. Participants were transported approximately 20km down the slopes of Mount Elgon from Kapchorwa Town and raced 10km back on the main tarmac road up to Sipi, home of the famous waterfalls. This provided a slightly friendlier running terrain than anticipated but nevertheless a challenging course with 1739ft/530m of climbing. Almost 100m of elevation gain for every kilometre raced. #runkapchorwa #landofchampions #kapchorwa #uganda #visituganda #pearlofafrica
