Dingli 10 on March 26

The 16th Dingli 10 Road Race, organised jointly by St Patrick's AC and the Dingli Local Council, will be held on March 26.

Since the first race in 1991, the Dingli 10 has become established as one of the most prestigious fixtures in the local athletics calendar. 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. Then they will pass through country roads on towards the spectacular Dingli Cliffs before the final dash home.

The main race starts at 9 a.m. Shortly after there will be a race for U-17 athletes over a distance of 2.3 miles as well as a fun run.

This year the race will be sponsored by Red Bull and Kristal Mineral Water. Application forms are available from the club's Website www.stpatricks-ac.org, or from Wally Galea's souvenirs shop in Valletta. One may obtain more details by phoning 7970-8650 or 2141-0648.

Last year's winners were Jonathan Balzan and Angela Sammut.
