Last Mountain Range in Africa with Permanent Snow
Last Mountain Range in Africa with Permanent Snow
Rwenzori Mountains Runners Club is dedicated to promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles among young and disabled in the mountain community of Western Uganda.
The club was started when 7 locals challenged themselves to run up to 4 summits, including Margherita Peak at 5109m, in one go. The run was completed despite bad weather, mud, cold, and poor gear, and proved as an inspiration to other locals that great things can be achieved.
Poor equipment cannot hold back an determined mind
Dare to race us? Please invite us to your race.
We need more and better equipment. Running and especially Mountain running requires equipment. What you might take for granted is often a luxury for us. Most members do not have proper mountain running shoes and many are climbing in rubber boots.
Don't just take our word for it: "Some of the strongest runners I have met. Their lack of equipment just makes everything so much more impressive." - Anders Rodenberg, CEO at Denominator
- Shoes (both regular runners and mountain boots)
- Jackets (water proof and warm, light)
- Tracking devices
- Trekking pants
- Cold weather gear (Hats, Gloves, and Socks)
- Laptop for admin work
- Reflex vets
