The Hollard Daredevil Run is fast approaching. In less than 2 weeks, SA's daring Speedo road running event takes place.

Athletes from around South Africa will dash through the streets in purple swimsuits.
SPEEDO RUN The annual edition of SA's Daredevil Run, which features scores of guys hitting the streets in their swimwear, occurs on Friday 13 October.
The main event is to be held at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg. However, runners from locations all over the country will also take to the streets.

RAISING AWARENESS Thousands of brave men in purple Speedos will take to the streets in a proud attempt to draw attention to prostate cancer.
The swimsuit-clad runners will participate in the fun run to raise awareness for cancers affecting men of all ages.
NATIONWIDE PARTICIPATION The main event will take place in Johannesburg. However, guys across the country are encouraged to don a purple Daredevil swimsuit and join the run.
--
Participants may run alone or in groups, anywhere in South Africa. Otherwise, runners from outside of Joburg are welcome to join other cancer warriors at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg on 13 October at 15.00.

MALE CANCERS All proceeds from Hollard's Daredevil Run will go to CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa) and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa.
Furthermore, funds raised will be used to fund testing in under-resourced areas and to increase awareness, support and research.
DAREDEVIL RUN Guys, it's time to get out of your comfort zone and to give your man bits some attention.
So, lace up your shoes and power up your purple Speedo. Get ready to take part in the biggest and bravest Hollard Daredevil Run to date.
Register now and receive your Hollard Daredevil registration pack via courier.
MEN'S HEALTH With this in mind, men are reminded to conduct regular testicular checks and to go for screenings.
Guys are also asked to spread the word and invite fellow males to join the event on 13 October (at Zoo Lake or wherever they are in SA) to run cancer out of town.
