Uganda Airlines offers round-trip group fares for Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon travellers
For Ugandan runners, a direct group fare on the national carrier removes one of the bigger planning headaches.
Uganda Airlines has launched special group fares for runners and supporters travelling to Nairobi for the 2026 Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon.
The round-trip tickets priced at $330 per person. The marathon will take place on 25th October 2026 in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.
The offer by Uganda Airlines is part of the airlines’ promotion of sport tourism in the region. It covers travel between October 18 and 24, 2026.
According to the airline, travellers must quote the promo code URNBOMRTH to access the fare.
A weekend trip built around the run
The Standard Chartered Nairobi Marathon draws runners from across East Africa and beyond.
The airline’s offer aims at the many Ugandans who make the trip each year, whether to race or to cheer from the roadside.
The week-long window gives travellers time to arrive early, collect race packs, rest before the event, and explore the Kenyan capital afterwards.
The fare is a group fare, so it is aimed at running clubs, corporate teams, schools, families, and friends travelling together. The airline, however, does not specify the minimum group size.
Why does it matter
Sport tourism is a growing part of regional travel, and mass-participation races like the Nairobi Marathon are increasingly planned as short breaks rather than just a day at the start line.
For Ugandan runners, a direct group fare on the national carrier removes one of the bigger planning headaches.
With the travel period opening on October 18, those wanting to take advantage of the offer will need to move quickly.
