Mr Vecans is a man on a mission.
If the heat has you huffing and puffing as you labour up Valletta's streets of stairs, spare a thought for Latvian marathon runner Dins Vecans.
Mr Vecans will be running the equivalent of a marathon on a treadmill near parliament building this coming Sunday starting at 9am.
And if any passers-by want to join him, there'll be a spare treadmill for them to stretch their legs on too.
Mr Vecans is running 28 marathons in 28 cities in 28 days to raise awareness about the importance of exercise in combating cancer.
And this Sunday, it's Valletta's turn.
Mr Vecans is being supported by Europa Donna, the European Breast cancer Coalition.
