The Uganda national athletics team is known for its exceptional strength in middle- and long-distance running on the global stage. We captured this group in the moment—five athletes in red and yellow, carrying the colors of their nation at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
Led by world-class athletes such as Joshua Cheptegei, Jacob Kiplimo, and Peruth Chemutai, Uganda has emerged as a dominant force—excelling in the 5000m, 10,000m, steeplechase, and marathon, and challenging the long-standing dominance of Kenya and Ethiopia.
Forged in altitude—
and united in pursuit of distance.
