The course is a point-to-point route from inland Malta down to the sea: you start near Mdina, the old fortified capital, and finish on the seafront promenade in Sliema. The first part crosses countryside, small valleys and genuine villages, with downhill stretches that tempt you to push; later the route becomes more urban and the closing kilometres run along the coast, almost flat, with the sea beside you. The 21k also finishes on the Sliema seafront. In late February temperatures range from 10-12 degrees early in the morning to 16-18 in the middle of the day, with plenty of sun and the chance of a sea breeze. Coach's advice: don't let the early descent fool you, keep the pace honest in the first kilometres and save your quads for the finale.
Friday: arrival in Malta, included airport transfer and check-in at the hotel in Sliema, then race number collection together with the KiRun staff. Saturday: easy shake-out run with the coach along the Sliema seafront, free time for Valletta or for one of the optional excursions, and pre-race briefing at the KiRun desk in the hotel, with advice on kit, pacing and start logistics. Sunday: early breakfast at the hotel, transfer towards the start area with our team looking after you, race, and the KiRun meeting point at the finish on the promenade to celebrate, followed by an afternoon of recovery and your third night in the hotel. Monday: breakfast and transfer to the airport, or an extra night to enjoy Malta slowly.
Malta is reached by air from Italy, with direct flights or a stopover depending on your departure airport: you can book on your own and send us the details, or contact us so we can add the flight, as explained in the 'Il volo' section. Airport transfers in both directions are included in the package, so our team meets you on arrival and you have nothing to organise. On the island you move around by bus, which links Sliema with the inland villages, and by ferry to Valletta, with the terminal just steps from the hotel. Sliema itself is easy on foot along the promenade, the same seafront where the finish is, and on race morning you simply follow the staff's instructions.
Is the race number guaranteed? Yes, numbers are currently available and with us they are guaranteed from 35 €, to be added to the package. Can I choose the half instead of the marathon? Yes, the event includes both 42k and 21k: tell us your distance and we reserve your number. Can I bring a non-running companion? Of course, with the rate without a race number: ask us for the quote. What if I get injured before departure? The 19 € insurance covers trip cancellation for injury and illness up to the day of departure. What does the 249 € package include? Three nights bed and breakfast, airport transfers both ways, KiRun assistance and the group training programme with your tutor. When do I pay? At booking we tell you the deposit and the balance deadline.
