The Weekend:
'Running Crazy Ltd' were delighted to be invited to visit this event by the organisers, and were impressed with the race, the course, the area, the people, and the island of Malta itself. So much so that we have prepared a package that we believe will be attractive to runners from all countries. Malta is a small island just off the coast of Sicily, Italy. Being in the middle of the Mediterranean it enjoys an idyllic climate - ideal for running. There are great low cost flight deals too.

• Met at Malta's Luga Airport
• Transfer and return from/to Airport
• Minimum of 3 Star Hotel Accommodation on Bed & Breakfast basis

The Race:
The Course: 
Race Start Times: Marathon 0800 - Half Marathon 1000
Time Limits: Marathon 6 Hours - Half Marathon 3 Hours
Both races start inland at Mdina, an ancient market town. Your entry includes a coach out to the Start. The Coach Pick up point and Race Finish area are just a short walk from our hotel. The Marathon course gets under way early in the morning, and the Half Marathon just 2 hours later. The majority of the Half Marathon course is downhill, so PB's are a possibility here. However if you are not interested in times, then just take in the great views as you head towards the coast. There are Prizes and Age Group categories.
Accommodation:
'Running Crazy' have secured 3* Hotel accommodation on a Bed and Breakfast basis at a hotel conveniently located for the race, and also for your sightseeing days. It is well placed for our evening entertainment too.
The Weather:
Malta as a Mediterranean island enjoys a mild climate and at this time of year it is usually ideal for running a distance race.
• Average Sunshine Hours per day : 5
• Wet days in a month : 9
• Average Temperatures : 10 - 18 degrees Celsius
• Average Monthly Rainfall : 2"
Entertainment:
Malta is a tourist island - they are geared up for fun. The people are friendly, English speaking and they drive on the left! There is a lot to do for a short break, and you can top up on your history knowledge too. Visit Valetta, take the ferry to Gozo, or take a fascinating Harbour Cruise. It is even just 90 minutes from Sicily on the fast SeaCat! Alternatively just sun yourself and relax in a harbourside café. We have an optional evening meal available on the night before the race, and a great fun evening programme including another meal in a spectacularly located restaurant, and a party late in to the night to help you celebrate after the race.
Groups:
Malta is a great race for a group of runners. With both a Marathon and a Half Marathon all types of runners can be catered for. There are discounts available for large groups (20+), but even a group of just 10 will qualify for an additional prize for the first or last to finish......you choose! If you have a group interested in joining us, please complete the Groups Application Form, and 'Running Crazy Ltd' will be in touch.
