He urged participants to regularly engage in sports to fight and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the strong turnout and extended warm Christmas wishes to all participants and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chief sponsor, Norman Batuma, offered his firm assurance of continued sponsorship for the event in the years to come. In the race results, Isaac Muhumuza and Norman Batuma won the 10-kilometer race, while Edwin Kayima won the 5-kilometer race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winners were presented with trophies and medals. The marathon also honored lasting dedication, recognizing Boaz Bugigi as the most consistent participant and Jennifer Bitarabeho as the most senior participant, highlighting the event&#8217;s inclusive spirit for all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 11th Burwathon Memorial Marathon stood as a testament to a family\u2019s love, a community\u2019s solidarity, and a shared commitment to building a healthier, more active Kabale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABALE, UGANDA &#8211; About 200 people participated in the 11th
