Five teams, five simultaneous endurance events, one thousand eight hundred and ten kilometres of hard slog. All five events are timed to end between one and two o’clock in the afternoon of the 20th September 2015 at the Radisson Blu Resort, St Julian’s with the ambitious aim of collecting €100,000 in aid of The Ladybird Foundation.
In each discipline the five participants will function as a team, supporting and helping each-other along the way, and hopefully finishing together.
Our five runners will cover 51km each, battling the raging sun and aging legs in their quest to cover this Ultramarathon distance.
START: 06:00 at Imtarfa on 20/09/15
Kid's Walk: Info coming soon
FINISH: 13:00 Radisson Blu, St. Julians

THE RUNNERS WILL TRAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 150 HRS, ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO BOOK OF WAR AND PEACE 3 TIMES OVER
The Kayakers will go round Malta, a distance of no less than 75km. That means around 14hrs of non-stop paddling; it also means that, for many hours, they will be fully exposed to the winds and currents coming from the open sea.
START: 06:00 on 19/09/15 at The Edge, Radisson Blu, St. Julians
FINISH: 20:00 The Edge, Radisson Blu, St. Julians

AS PART OF THEIR TRAINING OUR WALKERS WILL COVER THE SAME DISTANCE AS THAT BETWEEN MALTA AND MILAN
Covering 175km on a 27km island means that our cyclists will have to make quite a few loops, cycling for around 10 hours on their way to the finishing line.
START: 03:00 on 20/09/13 from The Edge Radisson Blu, St. Julians
Kid's Cycle: To be held at Ta'Qali (more info coming soon)

IN THEIR MONTHS OF TRAINING THE CYCLISTS WILL PUSH THOSE PEDALS ROUND AN ESTIMATED 1 MILLION TIMES
Any open water swim of 10km or more is defined as a marathon, so our swimmers will be doing more than a marathon and a half as they make their way from Ghadira all the way to St Julian’s, hopefully in a time of around 6hrs.
START: 06:30 on 19/09/13 at Ghadira Bay
FINISH: 13:00 The Edge, Radisson Blu, St. Julians

DURING THEIR PREPARATIONS EACH SWIMMER WILL SWIM A DISTANCE EQUIVALENT TO MALTA - POZZALLO ....MORE THAN 4 TIMES OVER
In each of the five disciplines there will be a short part of the route where The Ladybird Teams will be accompanied by as many children and families as we can get together. Please follow our website www.theladybirdfoundation.org and facebook page closer to the date.
