The Run the #WaveofChange campaign was set to take place between 28-29 March, with runners taking on a 168-kilo- metre coastal run – the equiv- alent of four full marathons, or six times Malta's length – and 400 people invited to join the run for the final four kilo- metres of the route. Hundreds of volunteers, in- cluding members of the pub- lic, companies, and CSR teams from NGOs, will meanwhile be participating in more than 35 clean-ups along the running route. The 2020 campaign also features an extensive coun- try-wide education programme with competitions and events in local schools, and a 'Couch to Coastline' scheme for those wishing to take part as runners. Run the #WaveofChange 2020 will be topped off by a massive party celebrated with some of Malta's best bands all support- ing the cause. Running partners Trudy Kerr and Deborah Gatt, who orig- inally launched the #Waveof- Change initiative in 2019, are confident that the full 2020 campaign will still go ahead as soon as it is safe to do so. Launched to encourage peo- ple to collect waste that would otherwise end up in the sea, the annual national campaign aims to help raise awareness of the ever-increasing problem of waste – particularly plastic waste – polluting the seas and posing a serious risk for the planet. This year's event is built around the message to simply pick up at least three pieces of rubbish, for three days, before telling three friends to do the same. Further information and updated event details, when confirmed, can be found on Run the #WaveofChange Face- book page. Those interested in taking part in the #Waveof- Change 2020 event are asked to collect three pieces of rubbish and use the hashtag #WaveOf- Change on social media prior to submitting their application. There is no participation fee. The Run the was set to take place between 28-29 March
