For The International Runners

Every year we do get international runners coming over from across the globe. Our advice is for your to book your stay in any hotel in “hulhumale”. race bib collection happens in “male’ city” which is connected to hulhumale via a bridge. You can taxi here from your hotel or you can even do a short boat ride (ferry) from hulhumale ferry station to male’ ferry station. then, about a 10 minutes or less walk will get you to our race expo venue, which is also our head office.

some runners have opted to stay in male’ as well. again, there are many city hotels in male’ area as well (our partner hotel is SOMERSET HOTEL) which is one of the leading boutique hotels in Male’ city.

most runners we have had the chance to converse had told us that after the race, they go on for a real relaxing holiday experience in a resort. Resorts are beautiful, some are a short speed boat away from male’ and hulhumale whereas others require a seaplane (that gets arranged by the resort with your booking). also do note that there are budget hotels in nearby island and it is worth looking at islands like “maafushi”, “gulhi”, “thulusdhoo”, “goidhoo” to name a few.
