Runners get silly for prostate cancer
Runners don their regular outfits while men run in their speedos.
On 8 November men from all over took part in the Dare Devil Run to raise awareness for prostate cancer.
This men’s-only race was completed in red speedos.
On the night before though local club Golden Reef Road Runners showed their solidarity by organising a Not So Brave fun run and walk. All the members got together at 6pm and the rule was that they had to wear something red and that those men who are not too shy would go bare chested.
“Our club is situated in the heart of Horison. As a community running club we want to give back to the community as was the case with the Not So Brave Dare Devil Run. We organised the event to make everybody aware of prostate cancer, as it is one of the leading cancers in males worldwide. It is the most prevalent cancer among white South African males. However, recent statistics indicate that black males are at increased risk of prostate cancer and often develop an aggressive type of prostate cancer,” said Manette Keyter, the Chairperson of Golden Reef Road Runners.
The club is also proud of the recent launching of their new website and residents are invited to visit it at www.grrrunners.co.za.
