The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) is proud to be part of the launch of the 2026 TuskerLite Rwenzori Marathon, a major event that continues to grow in popularity and impact. Held in Kasese, the marathon is not only a celebration of athletic excellence but also a powerful platform to showcase Uganda to the world. As preparations gather pace, UCC’s presence on the ground highlights its strong commitment to ensuring the event runs smoothly through reliable and efficient communication services.
Led by the Executive Director, the UCC team is overseeing the communications infrastructure that will support seamless broadcasting, accurate race timing, and strong global visibility. Behind every live television broadcast, radio update, and online stream is a well-managed system that depends on stable networks and properly allocated spectrum. By carefully managing the necessary frequencies, UCC is enabling media houses across the country to capture and share every exciting moment of the marathon with audiences nationwide and beyond.
UCC’s role also goes beyond broadcasting. The Commission is ensuring dependable telecom services to support coordination among security teams, medical personnel, and event organizers. In a large-scale event like this, fast and clear communication is essential for safety and efficiency. Reliable connectivity allows teams to respond quickly when needed and ensures that the marathon is well organized from start to finish. Participants and spectators will also benefit from stable network services, allowing them to stay connected and share their experiences in real time.
The 2026 TuskerLite Rwenzori Marathon is more than a race—it is a true celebration of sports, tourism, and national unity. With UCC playing a key role in strengthening communication systems, the event is set to reach new heights. Through its commitment to quality service and effective spectrum management, UCC is helping position Kasese and Uganda on the global stage, ensuring that the energy and spirit of the marathon are experienced far and wide.
