The Bluff will be one of the starting locations of the run, with the morning run starting at 06:30 for 07:00 from Oxford Fresh Market to Bluff Meat Supply and back. Those who cannot make it in the morning can also take part in an afternoon run starting at 14:30 for 15:00 at the same location.

The Bluff’s Daredevil legend Lawrence Chislett is hoping to conquer his tenth race this year. “The Daredevil Run is not a race but a way of keeping prostate and testicular cancer on people’s radar and encouraging men to take a serious look at their health,” he said.

The entry price is R180 per runner, which includes a Hollard kit with water bottle, registration number, armband, the purple branded speedo and some surprise treats. All proceeds will go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of SA and cancer screening initiatives.

“This run is about saving lives through awareness and early detection. Whether you’re running for yourself, a friend or in memory of someone,” said Chislett.
