James Bakama column Kampala &mdash THIS column has been missing for three weeks! One can blame it on the global financial crisis and soaring
newsprint prices that conspired into a reduction of pages. But rather than have sleepless nights over the financial woes, I decided to put the pen aside and try out something more physical. I’ve been into a lot of jogging not only for adventure, but also for an upcoming marathon. On Sunday, I will be one of hundreds of runners who will feature in the Hared Source of the Nile marathon. This Jinja race, on the picturesque fringes of the world’s longest river, could have passed as any ordinary marathon — but that is not the case.
The organisers are also willing to learn. That is exactly why they have partnered with athletics governing body UAF.
