Joyathon 2026 by Little Joys is a fun-filled kids run festival for children aged 4–14 years, bringing together running, play, entertainment and family fun in one joyful experience. Whether it’s their first-ever run or their next big challenge, Joyathon is all about helping children move, have fun and celebrate the joy of finishing.
At Joyathon, every pace belongs, every effort counts and every finish deserves a cheer. Some children may race ahead, some may find their own steady rhythm, while others may slow down and enjoy every moment.
At Little Joys, good nutrition, regular movement and joyful experiences help children build healthy habits and confidence as they grow. Joyathon brings that belief to life by celebrating every child for showing up, giving it a go and enjoying the journey.
For children up to 8 years, it is mandatory for a parent or guardian to accompany them throughout the run to help ensure they feel safe, comfortable and encouraged.
For children aged 9 years and above, parent or guardian accompaniment is at their discretion.
