When the runners crossed the finish line and the Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon came to an end, the night was only getting started.
The marathon’s Neon Rave brought runners, friends, as well as Kampala and Kasese’s social crowd together for an after-party rave that was filled with music.
Top artistes including Cindy aka the King Herself, and Pallaso, among others, gave the humongous crowd performances that will stick in their minds for sometime.
In the VVIP section, things were a bit different. Guests enjoyed the Premier league matches on a giant LED screen, in the comfort of comfy lounge seats.
In the left hand corner, down the marque, guests were treated to whisky lessons by the UBL advocacy team, who carefully took small groups of people through the ingredients for different whiskies, the craftsmanship and history.
But there was another spectacle that seemed to conquer many people’s attention throughout the night: the dramatic bottle serves of the Don Julio 1942 bottles. It was evident that Don Julio had brought its signature touch of luxury into the night. The 1942 bottles made their way to the tables with the theatrical flair the tequila brand has become known for.
Each delivery became a moment of its own. Each bottle was carried above the head, like some sort of trophy. And as the server made their way through the audience, guests raised their glasses, and cheered loudly.
The bottle serves kept growing as the night grew. It was evident some guests had fallen in love with the tequila. Judie Nandekya, the Senior Brand Manager, Tequila and Rum East Africa said she was glad that Don Julio was able to add a touch of luxury to the Neon Rave.
”The Neon Rave provided the perfect setting for guests to enjoy, and Don Julio added a luxury touch to this year’s Tusker Lite Mt. Rwenzori Marathon,” she said.
As the music raved on and the crowd settled into the night, the VIP section became one of the rave’s standout spots, with Don Julio bottles taking centrestage, as people engaged in conversations, while others vibed to the action from the stage.
The party went on till the wee hours of Sunday night, turning Kasese town into one of the most fun places in Uganda for the weekend.
