The experience will start off with a road trip on December 2nd that will feature a stopover at the Ziwa Rhino Camp for an all-night camping experience before the procession continues to Gulu for the run on Saturday.

To participate in the run, Gulu residents will be charged sh30, 000 whereas the entire sojourn from Kampala to Gulu costs Ush300, 000.
