The 3rd Annual Corporate Run 2025 successfully took place on Sunday, 12th October 2025, at the NEC
Pitch, Bugolobi, drawing together hundreds of participants from over 40 corporate organizations. The event was organized under the inspiring theme “Run for Expectant Mothers,” a call to action for Ugandans to stand in solidarity with mothers and help improve maternal health outcomes across the country.
The day’s activities included a 3KM CEO Walk, 5KM Run, and 10KM Run, creating an inclusive environment for all fitness levels. In a heartwarming moment that captured the spirit of the run, 20 expectant mothers also participated in the run, serving as a living reminder of why the cause truly matters, ensuring that every mother in Uganda can give life safely and with dignity.
The 2025 edition of the Corporate Run was not just about fitness; it was about impact. The initiative aims to raise awareness and mobilize resources to distribute at least 3,000 mama kits to expectant mothers
across the Central and Northern regions of Uganda. Mama kits, which include essential items like gloves,
cotton, soap, and surgical blades, remain a vital necessity for safe childbirth, especially in under-resourced
communities.
The Run complements national efforts to reduce maternal mortality, which remains a pressing challenge in Uganda. By supporting expectant mothers through the provision of safe delivery kits and awareness creation, the Corporate Run contributes to the broader goal of strengthening Uganda’s healthcare system and promoting community responsibility in maternal care.
This year’s Corporate Run was made possible through the generous support and partnership of organizations that continue to demonstrate the power of corporate responsibility in driving national development.
Our 2025 sponsors and partners included:
Novo Games, Node Group, Electoral Commission, High 5 Media, BetPawa, National Lotteries, and
Gaming Regulatory Board, Black Lyf, Solace Graphix, Uganda Baati, Uzima Water, NBS Sport, and
Ritz Medical Centre.
Their contributions extended beyond financial support through active participation, visibility, these
partners amplified the run’s reach and inspired more Ugandans to get involved in life-changing causes.
Voices from the Run
Brig. Gen. Charity Bainababo, Chief Guest
“No mother should die while giving life. While government efforts have reduced maternal deaths, it remains our collective responsibility to contribute. The Corporate Run reminds us that each of us has a role — whether through participation or donation. On behalf of the UPDF, I assure everyone that your safety and security during such events, and even during upcoming elections, remains our top priority.”
Jorge De la Guadra, Managing Director, Novo Games
“We believe that every corporate brand has a responsibility to touch lives. Supporting this year’s run reflects our commitment to ensuring every mother has the resources and care needed to deliver safely.”
Sarah Agalo, Expectant Mother Participant
“Many mothers in villages can’t afford mama kits, and some even fear going to hospitals. Knowing that
people are running for us – for mothers -gives me hope that my baby and I matter.”
Ian Rumanyika, Chairman, Corporate Games Uganda
“We thank all participating companies and runners for their commitment to this noble cause. I encourage
organizations to register early for the 2026 Corporate Games season, which promises an even bigger and
more impactful calendar of activities.”
Impact and Next Steps
Proceeds from this year’s Corporate Run will go toward the distribution of 3,000 mama kits to health
centers serving mothers in Central and Northern Uganda. The Run will also focus on raising community
awareness about maternal health, emphasizing the importance of antenatal visits, skilled delivery
attendance, and emergency response readiness.
As Uganda continues to make strides in healthcare improvement, the Corporate Run stands as a shining
example of how the public can collaborate to create meaningful impact.
Together, we are running not just for fitness but for expectant mothers, for families, and for a healthier
Uganda.
