WHY TRAIL RUNNING?

By introducing challenging and fun sport events to Uganda we want to promote and encourage wider participation in sports and help activate Ugandans, young and old, to make sport and fitness an integral part of their lives.

BENEFITS.

And there are lots of reasons why trail running brings a number of benefits:



Good for your body

The softer surfaces can be easier on your muscles and joints, taking away a lot of stress from the impact that you’d normally get running on harder surfaces.


Good for your brain

Trail running also burns 10 percent more calories. Runners get a tougher workout because the uneven terrain demands more lateral movements that keep the core engaged.


Good for your soul

Uganda is a beautiful country and trail running is a great way to explore it. Many people find the sounds of nature, such as birds chirping or the running water of a stream, to be very relaxing.


Its Fun

Trail running is akin to being a kid on a playground. There are puddles to jump in, streams to jump over, logs to climb, and trees to duck under. Forget the same old view of the busy city roads, trails are a constant adventure.
