WE’RE in the home stretch leading up to the eagerly awaited Hollard Daredevil Run and excitement is mounting.
Thousands of men countrywide are gearing up to make a bold statement in support of prostate and testicular cancer awareness.
The annual Hollard Daredevil Run, now in its fifteenth year, takes place on Friday, 1 November 2024.
Runners from Johannesburg can once again join thousands of other daredevils at Zoo Lake to run 5km at 3pm, while participants elsewhere can register to run on their own or in groups anywhere in the country.
Follow Daredevil Run on Facebook to see where other groups around the country will be gathering, or post details of where you will be running and get others to join you.
Hollard is passionate about making a meaningful impact, helping men to protect themself from life’s unsures and enabling a culture that sees men talk more openly about their health, specifically when it comes to male cancers, the risks, the symptoms and the importance of early detection.
“You saved my life. I had a PSA test at the Hollard Daredevil Run, and they picked up that I had signs of early prostate cancer. I’d never have known if it hadn’t been for the run,” says one previous participant. As one of the beneficiaries of the event, the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) will be offering free PSA tests on Daredevil day at Zoo Lake.
By supporting the Hollard Daredevil Run, you are helping to raise funds to broaden education and access to testing in under resourced communities, while spreading awareness that early detection of prostate and testicular cancer saves lives.
Hollard calls on individuals, corporates, schools, tertiary educational institutions, sports clubs and communities to rally behind this worthy cause by entering this year’s event. Together, let’s support those previously unsupported through their cancer journey.
Tickets cost R 180.00 and if you sign up before 28 October at Ticketpro, your registration pack and complimentary purple speedo will be couriered directly to you.
Alternatively, those in Joburg can register at Zoo Lake before 14h30 on Friday 1 November.
