The event in a few words
Your next race is taking place on an island ๐๏ธ. When we say Malta, what comes to mind? Party time? ๐บ Well, not quite! Weโre here to talk about the famous Malta Marathon ๐ค.
Established in 1986, it's one of the oldest marathons in Europe! For its 40th edition, the organizer offers you 3 events: the classic marathon covering 42.195 km, the half marathon of 21.097 km, and finally a walkathon ๐ถโโ๏ธ. The walkathon follows the half marathon route, starting at the same time but allowing you more time to finish. You can walk (of course) or run it. This event aims to offer a less competitive ๐ but still challenging experience ๐ช! This city-to-city race begins in the ancient capital, Mdina, and finishes in Sliema ๐.
This race allows you to push your limits while enjoying the beauty of this Mediterranean island. Run along the coastline ๐ under a sunny sky ๐ with mild temperatures for the month of February โ๏ธ. Starting in Mdina, you'll embark on a race filled with culture and history. The city, known as the "Silent City" ๐คซ, is a historic town located at the center of the country. The former capital of Malta is renowned for its tranquil ambiance, quiet streets, and its timeless atmosphere ๐.
If, after crossing the finish line ๐ in triumph, you still have energy to spare, head to the capital to dance the night away ๐ชฉ. Known for its vibrant nightlife, Valletta hosts numerous festivals throughout the year ๐. If you prefer a quiet stroll, head to Rabat, Mdina's neighboring town, perfect for family walks ๐ช. If you donโt feel like walking around and are completely exhausted from the race, relax on the beaches of Golden Bay: one of Maltaโs most beautiful beaches, ideal for resting after the effort ๐๏ธ and only a few minutes' drive away ๐.
So, are you ready to take on the challenge and live an unforgettable experience? ๐ Sign up now and enjoy every stride in this exceptional setting! ๐
