Mr Blair will begin his run childhood cancer from Campbell Town at 8pm.
He will run for about 20 hours to finish at the Devonport Bluff around 3.30pm on Friday with a team of cyclists joining him for the final stage.
The cyclists, including Blair’s son, will leave Campbell Town about 7.30am on Friday and ride the country roads while Mr Blair runs on the Bass Highway with the hope of finishing together.
“What happens now, happens and we just do what we can to get down here on Friday afternoon,” he said.
Cyclist Cameron McPherson said he did track and road cycling but this would be his biggest ride.
“This is going to be a bit of training but obviously anything I can do to help out Tim I will do,” he said.
Mr Blair is dedicating the run to 12-year-old Devonport cancer victim Zac Sallese.
The Advocate and Rotary Club of Devonport North will host a fundraiser barbecue at the Bluff from 4pm.
