Chicago Marathon champion Jacob Kiplimo, African Champions Jemimmah Nakawala, and Farahat Manirola have won the 2025 October Fortebet Real Stars sports monthly Awards at an event hosted at Lazio restaurant in Kololo.

The event was attended by Judith Nabuule from Jude Colour Solutions, Resty Mbatidde Namugema from prime Sponsor Fortebet, and Organizing CEO Isaac Mukasa.

Kiplimo ran 2:02:23 to become the world’s 7th fastest Marathon runner, while setting a new National record, breaking his own record set in April 2025.

Jemimmah Nakawala won the Table Tennis accolade for her three straight wins, which stood superior for Team Uganda’s Qualification for the London 2026 World Table Tennis team Championship.

In the contest for the accolade, Nakawala beat teammates Parvin Nangonzi and Judith Mirembe, and they were not near her level in terms of performance.

Meanwhile Farahat Manirola was the Boxing Star scooping his second career accolade from Real Stars Sports Agency with his first having come in May last year after winning a professional belt in April.

Manirola won a Gold medal at the East Africa Zone 3 Championship. For the Accolade, he beat Aziz Ringo and Willy Kyakonye.

The Forte-bet Real Stars monthly awards have been a mainstay since 2018 and have rewarded more than 500 athletes.
