Global hip-hop trailblazer and wellness advocate Gunna is bringing his movement mission to new ground. In partnership with Under Armour, the artist will host his first-ever South African Wunna Run on Friday, 9 January 2026, at the Johannesburg Expo Centre.
What began as a wellness-driven initiative in New York has evolved into a global movement where community, culture, and commitment collide. Born from Gunna’s own lifestyle transformation, Wunna Run challenges the idea that health is a solitary pursuit instead reframing it as a shared experience rooted in motivation, music, and momentum.
Run the City. Then Own the Night.
Wunna Run Johannesburg coincides with Gunna’s highly anticipated visit for the Milk + Cookies Festival, where he headlines alongside South African heavyweights DJ Kent and Vigro Deep. Before the stage lights come on, fans are invited to lace up and run alongside the artist a rare, high-energy moment where fitness meets culture.
As the official performance partner, Under Armour is powering every stride with athlete-first innovation. The collaboration feels instinctive: a brand built on pushing limits, aligned with an artist redefining his own. Expect curated beats, an electric atmosphere, and a celebration of movement that goes beyond the finish line.
