JOHANNESBURG - The community will do their 67 minutes of  service for Mandela, by cleaning the toilets, parking lots, erecting tents and putting out chairs and tables for the many guests.

There will also be a motorbike parade, traditional dancers, music and fun for all.

The race starts at 7am and will take place this Sunday,  starting at Andova Game lodge and finishing at Matsiktsane village.

The prize money is impressive for a small community. First prize for the winning man and woman will be R2 000 each, second place gets R1 500  with payouts for the top-10 finishers.

The route is a straight forward flat course, except for the final 2km which has a sting in the tail.  After 19km of flat running, there will be a stiff hill to punish those tired legs.

Entries will close on Friday.

Entrance is R25 for the 21km route, R15 for the 10km race and R5 for the 5km fun run.
