Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>As the rest of the country commemorated the International Women\u2019s Day in the Eastern district of Katakwi last Friday, a section of other Ugandans and well wishers hit the road for women\u2019s wellbeing in Kampala.<\/b><\/p>\n

The atmosphere was that of family and camaraderie as close to 150 participants including women, men, boys and girls set off from Bushpig Restaurant at Acacia Avenue and around Kololo and surrounding areas to celebrate women.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rose Nanyonga of Clarke University led the runners on the day that also included Buganda Kingdom\u2019s Prince David Wasajja, who was at his best relaxed self as he took pictures with excited participants.<\/p>\n

Distances included 16km, 10km and 5km, with children running or walking 3km.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are using this run to support Mercy Line – an NGO that makes and distributes reusable pads to girls in Buikwe, Iganga and neighbouring districts, as well as trains them to make their own pads,\u201d Fiona Ssozi, one of the organisers, told.<\/p>\n

The goal of the event, which was organised by Activate Uganda, was to also \u201ceducate and encourage women to adopt and maintain a goal-achieving, safety-conscious active lifestyle,\u201d supplemented Maren Hald Bjorgum, also part of the organisers.<\/p>\n

The event largely brought together women and their support networks to run and engage in candid discussions on women runners wellness, experiences, techniques, lessons, inhibitions, fears, biases, and misconceptions.<\/p>\n
