The NSSF Kampala Hills Run is a fun, non-competitive charity Run organised by NSSF Uganda, in partnership with Housing Finance Bank, Next Media, and other sponsors.
It is an initiative through which the Fund mobilises Ugandans to raise funds for the improvement of learning conditions in public primary schools around the country through renovation of school structures, improving sanitation, and enhancement of e-learning. It traverses selected hills of Kampala, covering 21km.
The 2026 NSSF Kampala Hills Run will take place on 6th December 2026, at Kololo Independence Grounds, starting at 6:00 am.
A running kit, which includes a vest, cap, bag, bib, and timer, costs UGX 35,000 only.

The Fund targets to raise UGX 1.5 billion from the run, with support from various partners and individuals.
Proceeds from the 2026 Run will go towards supporting 10 public primary schools across the country to undertake school renovations, improve sanitation, and enhance e-learning.
Over the years, proceeds from the NSSF Kampala Hills Run funds have supported the refurbishment of 60 classroom blocks and improved sanitation in 25 primary schools across the country. Over 40,000 students benefit from these interventions every school day.
The benefits have extended beyond improving learning conditions to positively impacting enrollment. The interventions have led to a 12% increase in student enrolment at the beneficiary schools and a 10% reduction in dropouts.
