The 2025 Hollard Daredevil Run – Supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness

/in /by

Last Years Daredevil run raised a whopping one million Rand. Prostate Cancer Foundation and CANSA are joint beneficiaries of this, the biggest men’s health event of the year. Prostate Cancer Foundation’s CEO, Andrew Oberholzer commented “the funds raised by the Daredevil make a massive contribution towards raising awareness about prostate cancer and enable both organisations to provide free prostate cancer screening in underprivileged communities.”

Age and risk appropriate screening are essentials to ensure the early diagnosis of prostate cancer when treatments are potentially curative. Once prostate cancer spreads (metastasizes) it is no longer curable and treatment is focused on slowing progression of the disease.

Get ready to make your ballsiest move yet!

This October, thousands of bold South African men will take to the streets in nothing but a purple Speedo and sneakers not for fashion, but for a cause that matters. The Hollard Daredevil Run returns on Friday, 31 October and it’s your chance to make your ballsiest move yet in the fight against prostate and testicular cancers.

Whether you’re running solo in your suburb or joining the purple wave at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg, you’ll be part of a nationwide movement that’s saving lives one Speedo stride at a time.

Why we run

  • Talking about men’s health shouldn’t be taboo.
  • Early detection saves lives.
  • Every step you take helps fund screening, awareness and research especially for those who don’t have access.

In partnership with CANSA and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa, the Hollard Daredevil Run is more than a moment. It’s a message: Get checked. Get talking. Get involved.

Early detection saves lives

This isn’t just a run. It’s a reminder to be brave, bold and play a role in raising funds and making a difference.

The 2025 Hollard Daredevil Run – 31st October 2025

/in /by

It’s time to make your ballsiest move yet!

Building on the momentum of previous Daredevil Runs, thousands of brave men across Mzansi will once more take to the streets in Jozi and their hoods on Friday, 31 October, in nothing but a purple Speedo and sneakers. These Daredevils are making a bold statement in the fight against prostate and testicular cancers.

The Hollard Daredevil Run encourages men to talk openly about their health and to take charge of it. In partnership with CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa) and the PCF (Prostate Cancer Foundation), every run helps fund testing for people who do not have access to screening for prostate and testicular cancers, drives awareness, support as well as research.

You can run solo, with friends, family or colleagues, anywhere in the country or join fellow Daredevils at Zoo Lake in Joburg on Friday, 31 October. However you take part, you’ll be making a difference.

Early detection saves lives. That’s why we run and raise funds.
