This year, Fistula Marathon is going to take place on 24th May 2026. The Fistula Marathon is more than just a run. It is a powerful movement that reminds women suffering from obstetric fistula that they are not forgotten. Together, we run to restore dignity, rebuild confidence and support life-changing surgeries.
Why We Run
Obstetric fistula is a preventable childbirth injury that leaves women incontinent, isolated and often rejected by their communities. But there is hope! With timely surgical intervention and compassionate care, these women can regain their health, dignity and place in society.
The Fistula Marathon aims to raise awareness about obstetric fistula and inform the community that treatment is available and free at Kivulini Maternity Centre. Every step you take helps a woman step back into her community with confidence.
