means “let’s run”.

Sri Lanka has a lot of running going on: Thursday night loops in Colombo, sunrise long runs on the coast, hill sessions in Kandy, charity 5Ks and big city races. Most of it is announced in WhatsApp groups and Instagram stories. That works well if you’re already in the group, and not so well if you’re new.

Duwamu puts those runs in one timetable so anyone can find one they can join, see whether it suits them, and get to the start. It’s an invitation, not a competition: there are no leaderboards and no streaks.

What we do and don’t do

• Organisers list free runs at no cost. The Duwamu team checks new listings before they go live.
• Paid events are listed only by arrangement, and are always labelled as paid.
• We don’t sell tickets, take payments or register you for runs. That stays with each organiser.
• We don’t physically inspect routes or events. Organisers are responsible for their runs.

We’re starting in Colombo and the Western Province and growing from there. If you know a run or club that should be here, tell us.
