On Thursday, July 20, KIIS Network's Will & Woody held their inaugural PRAM400, a celebrity 400-metre sprint with prams in tow using fake babies for racing purposes. 

Runners of the all-star race were Woody Whitelaw, former Bachelor, Matty J, comedian Dave Thornton, Former AFL Star and I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here contestant Adam Cooney and Woody's own father, Steve Whitelaw. 

The winning contestant was incentivised with $5000 thanks to Demazin, which was donated to their charity of choice. 

The race ended in a photo finish and from a 250-metre handicapped head start, Woody’s father Steve Whitelaw, was followed closely by Matty J and then Woody, meaning that Woody really isn’t the fastest dad out there.

Before the race, each competitor joined Will & Woody to talk about joining the Pram400 and announce their charity.

“If you really thought you were good, you would get Cathy Freeman.”

Media personality and former Bachelor, Matty J - The Australian Childhood Foundation

Matty J – “Sorry to disappoint you. It’s not Tim Robards. It’s a skinnier version.”

Laura Byrne - “It was only 2 weeks ago that for an entire Saturday, he said to me, ‘hey babe, I’m going to go for a run’ and then he didn’t come home for six hours because he run 25 km and I think he went to the pub afterwards.”

“Well the race is over 400 metres, I am quite explosive over 2-3 but anything further than that, I think I may battle a little bit.”

Steve Whitelaw - Buk bilong Pikinini

“I’m not sure about that comment [from Woody] – non-celebrity. Is this what I’m labelled as now? A non-celebrity?”

Will & Woody can be heard on KIIS 1065, KIIS 101.1, KIIS 97.3 and Mix102.3 from 4-6PM, on 96FM from 5-6pm
