Uganda Athletics Federation official Namayo Mawerere reported an influx of runners after the Monday deadline. Competitors can pick their vests and numbers at Nsambya Hared petrol station opposite Sharing Hall and Clive road in Jinja.
Amin said they extended the flag-off time to 9am to allow the big Kampala entry enough time to warm up for action. The race will next year be upgraded to a full marathon. Several seasoned runners including world cross-country silver medalist Moses Kipsiro and Adero Nyakisi have entered the competition.
