The much-anticipated second edition of GhanaWeb’s ‘A Walk with Dad’ event, an annual initiative celebrating fathers, fatherhood, and father figures in society, was successfully held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in an atmosphere filled with excitement, unity, and appreciation.
The event brought together tons of participants, including GhanaWeb staff, social clubs, fitness groups, sponsors, and individuals who shared in the vision of honouring fathers while promoting health and wellness.

Upon reaching Peduase, the excitement continued with an intense workout session led by fitness instructors. The session engaged participants in exercises designed to boost strength, health, and overall wellness.
The celebration also featured fun competitions and games, including a thrilling weightlifting challenge. Representatives from groups and sponsors such as H&H, Nana Shito, Twellium Industries, and GhanaWeb competed for honours and walked away with awards.
Participants were treated to refreshments, including chocolate beverages, tea, snacks, and other treats, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the rewarding experience after the physically demanding activities.
