Dingli 10 race on March 19

The 13th Dingli 10 road race, organised jointly by St Patrick's AC and the Dingli Local Council, will again be held on Wednesday, March 19.

Since the first edition in 1991, the Dingli 10 has established itself as a tradition and one of the most prestigious races in the local calendar.

The start and finish of the race are at the square, next to the Francis Ebejer monument, at Dingli centre.

The course is ten miles long (16 kms).

Runners will go down to Fiddien Valley for the first four miles before the terrain becomes quite hilly.

The participants will then pass through country roads on towards the spectacular and panoramic Dingli cliffs before the last one-mile home dash.

The race starts at 9 a.m. and shortly afterwards there will be another race for juniors over a distance of 2.3 miles as well as a fun run.

This year the race will be sponsored by Fontana Mineral Water and Red Bull.
