The Embassy of Uganda in Bujumbura is ready to host the 2024 cancer run. This is an effort to show support for those who have and are battling cancer. The run this year will be held on Saturday 24th August 2024, as opposed to Sunday 25th, because many would-be participants usually attend church on Sundays, and Burundi residents usually use Saturday mornings for mass sporting activities.

Part of the proceeds this year will go towards the Centre Medico Chirurgical de Kinindo (CMCK) Hospital.
