Malta Marathon 2026

Your next race 🏝️ will take place on an island. When we say Malta, what do you think of? Party 🎉? Well, no, wrong! We're here to tell you about the famous Malta Marathon 🤓.

Created in 1986, it is one of the oldest in Europe, just that! For its 41st edition, the organizer offers you 3 events: the famous marathon of 42.195 km, the semi-marathon of 21.097 km, and finally a walkathon 🚶‍♀️. The latter follows the semi-marathon course; you'll start at the same time, but you'll have a bit more time to finish the race. You can choose to walk (obviously), but also run. The idea is to offer a less competitive event 🏆 that remains challenging! 💪 This city-to-city race starts from the old capital, Mdina, and ends in Sliema 📍.

This race will not only challenge you but also allow you to enjoy the beauty of this Mediterranean island by running along the seaside 🌊, under a sunny sky 🌞 with rather mild temperatures for February February ❄️. Starting in Mdina, you'll embark on a race full of culture and history. Indeed, the city, nicknamed the "Silent City" 🤫, is a historic city located in the country's center. Malta's former capital is known for its quiet ambiance, calm streets, and timeless atmosphere 😌.

If you still have energy after victoriously crossing the finish line 🏁, head to the capital to dance all night 🪩. Known for its lively nightlife, Valletta hosts numerous festivals throughout the year 🎉. If you fancy quiet walks, head to Rabat, a neighboring city of Mdina, ideal for family strolls 👪. If you don't feel like wandering around and come out completely exhausted from your race, enjoy relaxing on the beaches of Golden Bay: one of the most beautiful beaches in Malta, perfect for resting after the effort 🏖️ and just a few minutes away by car 🚗.

So, ready to take on the challenge and live an unforgettable experience? 😜 Sign up now and savor every stride in this exceptional setting! 🎉
