Join Malta Marathon 2025
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 a predominantly downhill courses with a drop of 200 meters from start to finish. A great choice for your first race 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 Malta Marathon is one of Europe’s oldest marathons. The 2025 Malta Marathon will be the 40th edition.
It is by far Malta’s fastest and most popular marathon, it incorporates a half marathon. On a good day, records are bound to be broken by the participants from over 80 countries.
Both races are held in accordance to the World Athletic Technical & Competition regulations.
Both the Full and Half Marathons are predominantly downhill, starting at 195m and ending up at sea level making both races relatively fast.
In 2023 both the Ladies and Men's Malta Marathon records were broken (2:36 and 2:13 respectively) and in 2024 despite unfavourable weather conditions, the Ladies Malta Marathon record was broken again (2:35) whilst the 1st Male finished in 2.19. The Ladies and Men’s Malta Half Marathon records stand at 1:13 and 1:02 respectively. In 2024 the Ladies Half was won in 1:17 and the Men’s in 1:03.
All times are recognised and accepted by prestigious marathons, such as Boston, Berlin, Comrades, etc, and the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Four participants in the 2024 Malta Marathon qualified for the 2025 Abbott World Marathon Wanda Age Group World Championships.
The Malta Marathon & Half Marathon routes have changed many times over the years since the inaugural Malta Marathon which was held in 1986. Faster and less traffic congested roads have always been sought, hence the changes. This is no mean task due to Malta’s geographical layout and size.
Both routes start from outside the ancient fortified walls of Mdina, Malta's medieval capital. Along the routes participants will be accompanied by live bands whilst they pass through countryside and urban areas with the last 5Km passing along the yacht studded creeks of Malta's world-renowned natural harbour before finishing in the popular resort of Sliema.
Transport to the start is conveniently organised from Sliema, so that finishers can find their way to their accommodation on foot at their own leisure.
This will be the 40th edition of the Malta marathon 1986 – 2025.
