Choose between a 10km Hot Run (17:00 start) or a 5km Mild Run (17:20 start) and enjoy a festive evening of fitness, entertainment, and community spirit. With full road closures, great race village vibes, and Discovery Vitality points up for grabs, this is a must-do Jozi running event


Your entry includes a race shirt, official timing chip, finishers medal and post-race entertainment to keep the energy high. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or running for fun with friends, the Chicken Run is the perfect mix of fun, fitness and flavour.
