Food Lover's Market Tekkie Challenge | 2026

This family-friendly charity running event offers participants a choice of 16km, 10km, and 5km race distances, making it suitable for club runners, social athletes, walkers, families, beginners, and local supporters.

Held in aid of children with special educational needs, the event gives participants the opportunity to enjoy an active spring morning while supporting a meaningful cause. Funds raised help make a difference in the lives of children with learning disabilities.

The 16km race provides a strong longer-distance challenge, while the 10km offers a solid mid-distance option. The 5km is ideal for families, walkers, younger participants, and anyone looking to take part in a relaxed and uplifting community event.

With its Jan Kriel School venue, charitable purpose, and welcoming race-day atmosphere, the Food Lover’s Market Tekkie Challenge is a great way to celebrate the start of spring while supporting an important cause.
