Jane Suuto was the joint oldest person to represent Uganda at the London Games at the age of 33. She had not entered any previous Summer Olympics. Sutto qualified for the Games because she achieved a third-place finish at the 2012 Riga Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 42 minutes, 7 seconds, that met the "B" qualifying standard for the women's marathon. In an interview with "New Vision" before she competed Suuto said: "I will not promise a medal but I will go out there to offer my best and whatever God offers me. I will take it with both hands. I will go out there and fight." In the event held on 5 August, she finished 93rd out of 107 athletes, with a time of two hours, 44 minutes and 46 seconds. Suuto finished 21 minutes, 39 seconds behind winner Tiki Gelana of Ethiopia (2 hours, 23 minutes, 7 seconds).
