Get outside and connect with your kids

It is not a race. It is a day made for your family.
Pramathon first ran in 2019 with about 500 families. It is back for 2026 with the same simple idea: get outside, push the pram, and spend real time with your kids.
It is a day built around parents and the little people who run them. The morning opens with a gentle 2.5 km walk around Waterfall City Park, then the day stays open: food, music, a market, a Clamber Club play zone and plenty of lawn to relax on. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, and stay as long as you like.
Far more than a walk
The 2.5 km walk opens the morning. After that it is a full day of family entertainment, and one ticket covers all of it.

Everything you need to know
Waterfall City Park, made for a family day
A safe, easy spot right between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and just the kind of place to settle into for the whole day.
- Spacious lawns. Room to spread a blanket, picnic and let the kids run.
- Easy to reach. A quick trip from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.
- Safe parking. Secure parking right at the venue.
The 2.5 km Urban Pram Walk
A chilled walk that starts and ends on the Waterfall City Park grounds. Want to push further? Walk 2 or 3 loops (5 km or 7.5 km), totally up to you. Last time, 80% of everyone there joined in: grannies, grandpas, moms, dads and older kids.
No rush and no finish-line pressure. Decorate your pram for the Best-Dressed Pram award, keep the older kids busy with the Eye Spy game along the route, and finish at your own pace.
Walk for fun, and for a cause
Pramathon supports Cotlands and its work in early childhood development, the first building block for a healthy, happy child.
Bring along any old prams, baby clothes, books or toys you no longer need and drop them at the Cotlands donation station on the day. A small clear-out at home, a real difference for another family.

Is it only a walk?
No. The 2.5 km walk opens the morning, then it becomes a full-day family festival with a Clamber Club play zone, craft stations, food trucks, a gin bar and craft beer for the grown-ups, live music and a handcrafted market.
Do I need to be fit?
Not at all. It is a walk first, at your own pace, on a flat and pram-friendly route. Push one loop or three; it is entirely up to your family.
Can I bring the grandparents?
Please do. Pramathon is built for the whole family. Last time, 80% of everyone there joined the walk: grannies, grandpas, moms, dads and older kids.
