Marathon Manny is taking on a 48-hour fundraising challenge at Molineux - and it could be his most demanding yet

Manny Singh Kang has made a name for himself for his challenges, which have seen him walk from outside of Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton to stadiums in West London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne to raise funds for Dementia UK.

He is now getting set to take on his latest walking challenge, which will be closer to home, but no less arduous, as he prepares to walk around Molineux for 48 hours, starting at 4.30pm on Thursday, September 26 and finishing at 4.30pm on Saturday, September 28, just in time to watch Wolves play Liverpool.

The 51-year-old said he had spoken to a lot of people who had told him they had wanted to join him on his walking challenges, but hadn't been able to and that had sparked his new idea.

He said: "A lot of fans had wanted to join me on the previous challenges, but with walking to Newcastle, it wasn't really feasible, so I decided to make the next challenge walking around Molineux for 48 hours.

"It'll involve walking all around the stadium on a track which is quite paved, but also quite hilly with a lot of slopes and fans will be able to come at any point and join me.

"I think it will be great to see people get together and I know that a lot of fans have contacted me and they can't wait for it."

Probably the hardest and most mentally taxing challenge yet

Mr Singh Kang said the challenge was probably the hardest and most mentally taxing challenge he had every done, saying that while the other challenges had a destination at the end, this one was one that headed nowhere.

He said: "I'm going to end up nowhere at the end of this one as I'm going to end up at the same place I started from so, mentally, I haven't got a point or something to focus on.

"It's going to be a mental battle to stay awake for that long and it's not about the distance or the speedo walker as I won't be going anywhere, so it's a completely different type of challenge."

Mr Singh Kang said the challenge was one he wanted to test himself on, having thought that 24 hours would be easier to do and said that it was worth it for the charity he was doing it for.

He said: "This, as with the others, will be for Dementia UK, who I have been an ambassador for since 2018 and so many fans have come to me and told me their personal stories and joined in with the fundraising, so we're going to continue to focus on that charity and help them.

"It'll be good to see people and it's a good opportunity to do a feel good event providing community unity, which we need more of and it's a chance for people to get together."
