By Ben Hooper April 17 (UPI) -
- An unusual start- up announced the world's first sperm race -- a race involving actual sperm -- will be held April 25 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
Sperm Racing, a startup founded by a team of young millionaires, announced repre- sentatives from two competing schools -- the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles -- will provide the micro-
scopic swimmers for the inaugural Sperm Race.
The race will take place under a microscopic cam- era that will track the progress of the sperms as they attempt to cross to the finish line.
The startup said there will be three races held to determine the overall winner, and play-by-play commentary will be provided during each heat. There will also be instant replays, leader- boards and betting through approved partners.
"Sperm racing isn't just about racing sperm (although, let's be honest, that's hilarious)," co- founder Eric Zhu wrote in the "Sperm Racing Manifesto." "It's about turning health into a com- petition. it's about making male fertil- ity something peo- ple actually want to talk about, track and improve."
Zhu wrote that "health is a race. And everyone deserves a shot at the starting line."
