The race will take place tomorrow evening at 17:30 at the Midack clubhouse in Kanonkop.

As an informal fun run, the race will act as an awareness campaign, with the public urged to do whatever distance they are comfortable with, as long as it takes 41 minutes, as every 40 minutes, a person commits suicide.

Middelburg’s various clubs have committed to take part in the race, including the Middelburg Marathon Club, Eskom Mpumalanga, Nkangala, Rooies, Run/Walk For Life, Chillies and Thungela.

There will be a donation box where people can contribute funds that will go directly to the charity organisation Helpline. The donation box will be available every Tuesday during October.
