The National Coordinator for Games and Sports under the Office of the National Chairman – NRM (ONC), Mr. Seth Murari, has donated 200 kits towards the upcoming General MK Run, an initiative organised as part of activities commemorating the birthday of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
The donation, made on behalf of the ONC, was officially handed over on Thursday and is expected to enhance preparations for the high-profile sporting event, which is drawing national attention and widespread participation.
Speaking during the handover, Mr. Murari reiterated ONC’s commitment to promoting physical wellness and community participation in line with Gen. Muhoozi’s vision of a healthier, more active Ugandan society.
“This donation is a demonstration of our continued support for initiatives that not only honour our leaders but also bring communities together through sport,” he said. “We believe that sports play a vital role in national unity, fitness, and youth empowerment.”
Organisers of the General MK Run have welcomed the contribution, noting that the 200 kits will help expand access and ensure that more participants—especially those from underrepresented communities—can take part safely and comfortably.
The General MK Run, which has become an annual feature on Uganda’s sporting calendar, is expected to attract thousands of runners from across the country.
Proceeds from the event will be channelled into various charitable causes, in keeping with the philanthropic spirit associated with Gen. Muhoozi’s birthday celebrations.
The ONC’s involvement, observers say, adds both visibility and logistical support to the initiative, reaffirming the office’s role in facilitating civic activities across different sectors, including sports.
Preparations for the event are in their final stages, with organisers urging the public to register early and participate in what promises to be a unifying and impactful occasion.
