Kampala will host The Independence Weekend 5KM Color Fun Run on Saturday, October 10, 2026, starting at 7:00 AM at Quepasa on Bandali Rise, Bugolobi.
Participants will get doused with bright color powder every kilometre. There will be no race against the clock — runners and walkers can move at their own pace, whether walking, jogging, cycling, taking a boda, or even crawling.
Participants are encouraged to wear white so the multi-coloured explosions stand out. After the run, the celebration will continue at Quepasa with music, dancing, games, food, drinks, and more color throws. The event is designed for all ages and fitness levels, making it ideal for families and friends looking to mark Independence Day in the most colourful way.

I’ve been attending color runs, experiencing amazing fun with friends and family, and yes this Independence weekend… I gotta experience more colorful memories straight up, so I will be there.
Independence Color-run is a great concept! How you share a heritage by blowing and splashing different Color and the person remains the same…its uniting all the Races to just share love…team building games, a 5km run or walk and the last wins…
Its MÚY INTERESANTÊ
It was colorful. Thank you to those who attended. Let’s wait for next year. Happy 64th…
