Malta Marathon 2026

You will embark on your next race on an island 🏝️. When we say Malta, what do you think of? Partying? 🕺 Well, no, wrong! We are here to talk to you about the famous Malta Marathon 🤓.

Created in 1986, it is one of the oldest in Europe, nothing less! For its 41st edition, the organizer offers you 3 events: the famous marathon with its 42.195 km, the half-marathon of 21.097 km, and finally a walkathon 🚶‍♀️. This last event will follow the half-marathon course, starting at the same time, but with a little more time to finish the race. You have the choice to walk (of course) or run it. The idea is to offer a less competitive event 🏆 that remains challenging! 💪 This city-to-city race will start from the old capital, Mdina, ending at Sliema 📍.

This race will not only allow you to surpass yourself but also to enjoy the beauty of this Mediterranean island by running by the sea 🌊, under a sunny sky 🌞 with fairly mild temperatures for February ❄️. By starting in Mdina, you are embarking on a race full of culture and history. Indeed, the city, nicknamed "Silent City" 🤫, is a historic town located in the center of the country. The former capital of Malta is renowned for its tranquil atmosphere, its quiet streets, and its timeless ambiance 😌.

If after victoriously crossing the finish line 🏁 you still have energy to spare, head to the capital to dance the night away 🪩. Known for its vibrant nightlife, Valletta hosts numerous festivals throughout the year 🎉. If you fancy quiet strolls, head to Rabat, neighboring Mdina, which is ideal for family walks 👪. If you don't feel like wandering on foot 👣 and are completely worn out from your race, don't hesitate to relax 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 have an unforgettable experience? 😜 Register now and savor every step in this exceptional setting! 🎉
