The Hollard Daredevil Run has become a nationwide phenomenon since it first started in 2009, raising eyebrows and raising awareness about prostate and testicular cancer.

The event also generates funds to support awareness campaigns and expand access to screening through the Cancer Association of SA (CANSA) and the Prostate Cancer Association of SA.

Nationally, purple Speedos with catchy slogans were couriered to those who entered, as excitement mounted ahead of the run.

Last year, R1m in funds were raised, with more than 6 000 participants and runners in over 400 locations nationally.

“Hollard is committed to driving positive change, creating awareness around prostate and testicular cancers, which is why we’ve continued to grow the Daredevil Run year after year and set ambitious, bold goals alongside CANSA and the Prostate Cancer Foundation,” said Hazel Chimhandamba, Group Chief Marketing Officer at Hollard.
