Who we are

Gutsy by name, family by nature

The Gutsy Bunch started as a few friends running the roads of Naalya before sunrise. Today we are a full running club: we train together three times a week, travel to races from Soroti to Nairobi, run route management for charity races and hare the KLA–EBB monthly run with Team Matooke.

Our visionA Uganda where everyone, at any pace, has a crew to run with.
Our missionGet more people moving β€” especially women and beginners β€” through safe, fun, well-organised runs.

Guts

Show up at 6AM. Finish what you start.

Laughter

If it isn't fun, we're doing it wrong.

Service

We hare, marshal and serve water for others.

Together

No one runs alone. No one finishes last alone.

Every week

Three runs. Zero excuses.

Just turn up. First run is free, every pace has a group and nobody gets left behind.
