The Dad Run @ Prison Break 2026

THE DAD RUN @ PRISON BREAK

👟👨‍👧‍👦Run with your Dad. Run with your Kids. Run for the Legends👨‍👦🏃

Join us on Saturday, 20 June at 07:30 at Prison Break Market for The Dad Run — a celebration of the legends we call Dad.

Whether you’re running with your dad, bringing the kids along, running with your own children, or running in memory of someone special, this event is all about family, fun and making memories together.

It’s not about racing — it’s about sharing the trail, enjoying the morning, and celebrating the people who helped shape us.

🏃 Distances

Choose your challenge for the morning:

👟5km – Perfect for families, walkers and younger runners
👟10km – A great mid-distance run with friends or family
👟15km – For those wanting to stretch the legs a little further

All routes start and finish at Prison Break Market, with the usual great atmosphere waiting when you return.

👨‍👧 Make It Special

Run with your dad.
Run with your kids.
Run with your friends who are dads.
Or run in honour of the father figures who live on in your memories.

We’ll also be celebrating the occasion with a special Father & Child Team Prize, so grab your running partner and make it count.

Bring the family, make a morning of it, and enjoy everything Prison Break Market has to offer after the run.

Prams and furry friends are always welcome.

Giving Back 💝 Running for a Cause

As with many of our events at Prison Break Market, we believe in giving back.

Our chosen beneficiary is Kids Haven. Kids Haven provides invaluable care and support for children, young people and families in Benoni and across the Ekurhuleni metro. Kids Haven goes beyond providing care in the Child and Youth Care Facility by working to support families in creating safe, nurturing homes for children and continuing to offer care and support to children and young people after they leave the facility.

You’ll be able to pledge a donation when entering, or pledge and pay by credit card on the day. Every contribution helps — thank you for spreading the love beyond the trail.
