Malta Marathon 2023
The Malta Marathon is a truly unique race since it is organized on a tiny Mediterranean island that is only 27 kilometres (17 miles) long and 14 kilometres (9 miles) wide. The Malta Half Marathon and the full distance have predominantly downhill courses with a drop of 200 meters from start to finish. A great choice for your first marathon or an attempt at a new personal best. What is even more exciting the routes of both distances are packed with great views of this famous tourist destination. The home of Malta Marathon is steeped in culture and heritage due to its 7000 years of history.
The event will take place date is the 26th of February and the start location of the full marathon which starts at 0730 is from outside the bastions of Malta’s old capital Mdina.
