Join La Valette Marathon 2026
Are you ready to dive into a 7,000-year journey through history while taking on a scenic marathon? Lace up and join us for the La Valette Marathon!
Get ready for an extraordinary run through the heart of Malta, the 'jewel of the Mediterranean.' The La Valette Marathon offers an unforgettable experience, where you'll race alongside the breathtaking Mediterranean Sea with history unfolding at every step.
Set on the enchanting island of Malta, this event brings history to life. With a past spanning 7,000 years, Malta is an open-air museum, filled with tales of ancient empires, monumental temples, and steadfast fortifications.
A significant chapter in Malta's legacy is Grand Master Jean de La Valette, dubbed "The Shield of Europe." In 1565, he courageously defended Malta during the Great Siege—a turning point in European history. The marathon, named in his honor, finishes at the historic fortifications that withstood the test of time.
The all-coastal route is Malta's only AIMS-certified full and half marathon course and an Abbott World Major Qualifier.
Join us in Malta, where every street, building, and corner tells a timeless story. It's where the past and present create a truly unique and captivating experience.
