Intensive training in Kapchorwa HATC. In the morning we shall fulfil a track speed workout. And let’s do an easy evening jogging along Kapenguria forest’s edge bordering Mount Elgon National Park, which we’ll explore another day.

Intensive training in Kapchorwa HATC. Let’s dedicate our morning slope workout to run uphil to a neiboring village Teryet where a national running stars are training. The center has a range of facilities for training and accommodation for athletes, including running tracks, an athletes’ hostel, a swimming pool, a gym, and both elementary and secondary schools to enable athletes to pursue their education as well. We’re also more than welcome to explore it and communicate to its residents. Evening: exercise and stretching.

Intensive training in Kapchorwa HATC. In the morning we’ll do a light jogging on “Champions Trail”, and in the evening will venture further into the surrounding countryside and pass through small farming communities before a tough climb on the tarmac highway back up to Kapchorwa town. This track reaches 2.100 m. above sea level and can be designed as a longrun or a fartlek.

Trekking and wildlife watching on Mt. Elgon. Trekking on Mount Elgon (4.321 m.), a solitary volcanic mountain on the border of eastern Uganda and western Kenya. The mountain’s highest point, named “Wagagai”, is located entirely within Uganda. Although there is no verifiable evidence of its earliest volcanic activity, geologists estimate that Mount Elgon is at least 24 million years old, making it the oldest extinct volcano in East Africa.

Accomodation’s organized at Mudda Cave Camp (3.500 m.) Spectacular scenery is the main attraction for hikers on this often neglected undemanding mountain, but there is also a variety of forest monkeys and small antelope, along with elephant and buffalo. A checklist topping 300 birds includes many species not recorded elsewhere in Uganda. Morning and evening explorational guided runs are provided.

Immersion to Karamoja’s culture. An unique opportunity for an immersive running and cultural experience in an unspoiled natural environment in Uganda — we’re going to Moroto district! Home of Tepeth hunters and gatherers tribe. We’re kindly invited not only to run on their land, but also to sing and dance with them, listen to the stories of elders and play traditional Karamojong games. Spending two nights at high altitude eco camps.

A bicycle safari through Karamoja land. Let’s discover Uganda’s untamed Northeast riding bycicle. We’ll follow the cattle paths of the nomadic warriors and learn about the pastoral culture, cycle over community trails through the villages and interact with indigenous communities, ride over abandon colonial roads through Uganda’s true wilderness, enjoy the views of the fast wilderness. A bicycle safari through Karamoja land is the best way to immerse yourself into Uganda as it is.

During this full Karamojong cultural cycling ride we’ll take a look with one eye on another amazing savannah scenery which is Kidepo valley, where we can possibly witness the magnificent herds of elephants and buffaloes in their thousands.

Journey back to the Nile valley. After morning run we’re getting back to the Nile valley. Tonight we will be having fun and eat great food on the source of the Nile — the longest river on our planet. But before that we’ll be seduced to have farewell evening run in the local pine forest and probably to catch some Nile perch in the backwaters of the river.

Farewell or resting day. Driving to Kampala, Entebbe or Jinja in the morning. Or resting before the start of the next running safari. This time — to Kenya!
