An man raised £1,500 in support of testicular cancer by running routes that left a penis shape to give his Strava followers a chuckle.

Irishman Shane Moore vowed to "run a d*** a day" and recorded his progress on the fitness app by showing off his artful creations.

He was raising cash for Movember, a month of awareness in which people raise cash for men's health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health, Dublin Live reports.

Usually, blokes content themselves with growing a moustache in November, with the traditionally manly facial hair being seen as a way to flag issues that affect men.

But Shane went one step further and decided to focus on a funnier part of the male anatomy.

His routes recorded on Strava show a line of penis shapes next to one another after he first ran in the shape a few months back.

Shane told Dublin Live: "I did a d***-shaped cycle back in March just for a laugh. On Strava, you can actually draw out your routes and one Clontarf shape caught my eye.

"On Halloween, I had planned on doing a run anyway after just moving to Clontarf. You can get creative on runs because it's a lot of time by yourself. Sometimes the stupid ideas are the best ones."

He said that he preferred crafting penises on the app to growing a moustache because his facial hair is a little thin.

He said: "People would probably report me if they saw me with a moustache. Obviously it's about men's health issues like testicular cancer.

"I thought it was an interesting and eye catching way to raise awareness for something quite serious. You can do serious things but can have fun and have the craic with it."

Shane said that some of the issues that Movember raises awareness for are particularly close to his heart.

"I've had my struggles with mental health and I wanted to help people who might need help, in a way that wasn't incredibly serious," he said.
