Caxton Joburg South in conjunction with Hollard put the challenge out there for men to take part in the annual run where men take to the street in purple Speedos to create awareness about testicle cancer.
And let’s just say, it was difficult to find men with enough courage enough to rise to the occasion.
Then the challenge was put forward to a few avid Parkrun runners with close connections to Meyerton Athletic Club (MAC) and the race was one.
As they took to the streets the first glances to the purple Speedos coming down the street were ones of ‘oh my, what do we have here?’
That did not last very long and motorists and pedestrians soon caught on and send the men on their merry way hooting along their route and spurring them on from the sidewalk.
And true to the MAC spirit, a couple of women joined in to cheer the men on as their race ‘against testicle cancer’ began and a couple of MAC members awaited them to clap them home when they finished their run.
Caxton Joburg South would like to take this opportunity, not only to thank Hollard for opportunity to put the word out there, but also to the runners of MAC who took on the challenge.
