Introducing Dad Dash 2018
We recently took to the streets of London to film a concept we called Dad Dash, a series of challenges for three friends who happen to be fathers. Engaging in competition across the Capital, the dads play pranks on one another, explore Portobello market, and engage in a race across land and river to reach Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Real friends and family men, this was an opportunity for these fathers to take part in a challenge with a difference, where the pushchairs play key supporting roles.
Shot in June 2018 during the peak of the summer heatwave, watch as the drama unfolds in this tale of friendship, fatherhood and friendly competition. Challenges consist of a pushchair construction, where sabotage between the friends is present, followed by a race around Portobello market in a quest to find unique items, before ending in a sprint to the finish line at the ArcelorMittal Orbital in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Chapter one:
In episode one our dads meet at undisclosed location in London facing their first challenge. Watch below to see how the drama unfolds, especially as one of the dads isn’t playing by the rules in their attempt to be the winner...
