Absa Bank Uganda, in collaboration with Kampala Hash House Harriers (KH3), has announced the return of the Absa KH3-7 Hills Run for its third edition, scheduled for March 16, 2025.
The 21-kilometer race will cover Kampala’s historic seven hills, combining fitness and scenic adventure while advocating for an important cause: promoting education for girls. Proceeds from the event will fund programs aimed at removing obstacles that hinder girls from staying in school.
Launched in 2023, the Absa KH3-7 Hills Run has been a driving change in society as an impressive UGX 500 million has been raised to date, including UGX 200 million in 2023 and UGX 300 million in 2024. These funds have positively impacted over 10,000 girls, enabling access to essential educational resources and opportunities.

Education paves the way for a brighter future and a more equitable society. Every step taken by our participants is an investment in the empowerment of Uganda’s young women.”

Race kits will be available for collection at select Absa bank branches starting February 1, 2025.
The four winners of the 21-km race (timed category) will receive tickets to South Africa’s prestigious Run Your City Series, with the top finisher also awarded a land title by Bakaima Real Estate Agents.
