AS RUNNERS pound the streets of London tomorrow, arts students in Darlington will be embarking on a gruelling event of their own.

Stagecoach Theatre Arts is holding a six-hour performance marathon at the Forum, in Borough Road, to raise cash for sports and music equipment for victims of the tsunami.

The show will run from 2pm to 8pm. Performances start at 2pm, 2.50pm, 3.50pm, 4.50pm, 5.50pm and 6.50pm.

Tickets are £1 for each one-hour slot.
