Make Your Ballsiest Move Yet: Hollard Daredevil Run 2025
It’s the annual event that sees streets, office parks, and schools around South Africa turn purple as brave men hit the road dressed only in purple Speedos and takkies.
The Hollard Daredevil Run has been sparking conversations about male cancers for 16 years, while also generating funds to support awareness campaigns and expand access to screening through the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and the Prostate Cancer Association of South Africa.
Why the Run Matters
Nationally, purple Speedos with catchy slogans are being couriered to those who have entered, as excitement mounts ahead of the run in various provinces and areas, on Friday, 31 October. Thousands of brave men have already registered for this year’s Hollard Daredevil Run. It’s time to make your ballsiest move yet as registrations close soon!
Last year, R1 million in funds was raised, with more than 6,000 participants and runners in over 400 locations nationally. Hollard is aiming to double the funds raised this year so that more men’s lives can be saved.
“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.
The purple Speedos with the awareness raising slogans on them are a powerful symbol of what happens when men are daring and brave enough to save a life – sometimes, even their own.
It makes a significant impact when everyone comes together for the Hollard Daredevil Run – whether they participate by running as well as by donating through the BackaBuddy programme.”
