Sports tourism key as hundreds conquer Elgon

The air buzzed with excitement as more than 2,000 runners gathered at the meeting point – a remarkable turnout, well above last year’s numbers. The participants gave off a vibe of energy and ambition as they attempted aerobics, as early as 6am.

Three-time World champion, Cheptegei’s presence added a spark to the event as runners from all over the country tried to chase their personal bests, with many excitedly hoping for the chance to see Cheptegei in person and steal memorable photo opportunities.

As the starting gun fired for the 21km, 10km and 5km runs, runners surged forward, their footsteps creating a rhythm against the streets of Mbale. The course was a relatively smooth one, offering dreamy glimpses of the lush Elgon landscape and a few of the 1,000 waterfalls that trickle down the mountain. Along the route, spectators cheered, shouting words of encouragement and sprinkling colour to add fun to the run. These were not the only stories on the course.
