Gunna and Under Armour Bring Wunna Run to Joburg

Global hip-hop trailblazer and wellness advocate Gunna is bringing his movement mission to new ground. In partnership with Under Armour, Gunna will host his first-ever South African Wunna Run on 9 January 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre.

What began as a wellness-driven initiative in New York has grown into a global tour where community, culture, and commitment collide. Born from Gunna’s own lifestyle transformation, the Wunna Run exists to shift how we view health: not as a solo grind, but as a shared journey.

Run the City. Then Own the Night.

Wunna Run Johannesburg lands during Gunna’s highly anticipated visit for the Milk + Cookies Festival, where he headlines alongside SA heavyweights DJ Kent and Vigro Deep. Now, fans get the rare opportunity to run with him before the festival.

As the official performance partner for Wunna Run, Under Armour is elevating every step with athlete-first innovation. It’s a natural fit: a brand built on pushing limits, teaming up with an artist redefining his own. Expect an electric vibe, curated beats, and a celebration of movement.

WHEN: Friday, 9 January 2026
WHERE: Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec Road
DISTANCE: 5KM

Whether you’re a first-time runner or a seasoned athlete, Wunna Run is open to all.  Tickets are available now via Howler. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit ‘Gunna’s Great Giveaway Foundation’, supporting community-driven wellness and upliftment initiatives.
