The Hollard Daredevil Run returns on October 31, continuing to push boundaries in the fight against prostate and testicular cancers.

The launch for the race took place at the Hollard Campus in Parktown in August 12, where funds raised from the 2024 event were handed over to involved partners in the fight against male cancers – the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Approximately R780 000 was raised from 2024’s successful run. Hollard topped the amount up to bring it to a total of R1m, which will be used to increase awareness, reducing uncertainty around cancer testing, especially in areas that don’t often have access to essential screening that can save lives.

Hollard Group chief marketing officer Hazel Chimhandamba explained that, as a nation, sport was in our blood. If we are that passionate about it, we could be equally passionate about our health. “Imagine if society paid the same passion and attention to understanding the risks of prostate and testicular cancers. This is why the Hollard Daredevil Run is such a powerful platform. It raises awareness in a fun and engaging way, sparking dialogue about men’s health in a non-threatening way.”

The annual Zoo Lake event will take place at 15:00, while participants in locations throughout the country can register to run on their own or in groups with friends, family, or colleagues.

Registration for the Daredevil Run will be open from today at Ticketpro at a cost of R180, which includes the courier of a registration pack and a complimentary purple Speedo.
