ATHLETICS | SEVEN HILLS RUN


KAMPALA - Vision Group has lined up 50 runners to participate in the NSSF Hash Run 2018, popularly known as the Seven Hills Run.

Over 1000 runners, including individuals and corporate estabishments, are expected to participate in the race conquering Kampala's historical seven hills to support charity causes.

The run is set to take place on February 25 between 6:00am to 2:00pm local time.

It will start at Pearl of Africa Primary School, Nsambya. Runners will cover a distance of 21km, traversing the seven hills of Nakasero,  Kibuli, Old Kampala, Namirembe, Rubaga, Lubiri and Nsambya.

Experienced runners are expected to complete the hills. Normally, first-timers struggle, but a few do manage to do all the hills.

On completion of each hill, runners get a different coloured wrist band. At the start and end points, there is plenty of networking and entertainment.

Last year, over sh131m was raised from the run. The proceeds went to the renovation of Makerere University Primary School, Summit View Army Primary School and completion of works at Nakivubo Settlement Primary School.
