Former 300m Steeplechase world and commonwealth champion Dorcus Inzikuru will use local events to build her fitness in preparation for the world championship in August.


Inzikuru disclosed this after winning the 5km Mother Mary Charity Marathon with a time of 18:54:62 minutes, to raise money for the construction of the grotto at the Mulago catholic Parish church.

"I am glad that I won this race and I will use such events to improve on my time as I work on qualifying for the world Championship," Inzikiuru stated.

The event sponsored by Centenary Bank attracted several hundreds of people including the elderly and youth.

Kawempe South member of Parliament Richard Ssebuliba urged Uganda Athletics Federation officials to introduce a race for the elderly.

"We are just not running for the seek of this charity but also for our health. UAF should regularly organizing events for the elderly to help us also mingle with the community we represent," Ssebuliba stated.
