The fourth and final race in this year's Birkirkara 5K Road Running Series will be held on December 13, at 9 a.m.

The race, starting from near the Birkirkara Local Council offices, will be held on the traditional route on the by-Pass which will be closed for traffic for the duration of the race.

In the men's series, a few seconds separate the top three runners.

Gerald Grech, of Libertas, leads Birkirkara St Joseph's James Douglas and Athleta Pembroke's Mark Herrera by five and six seconds respectively.

Douglas is currently the leader of the MAAA Road Running League and his present form should make him favourite to clinch the series.

Lisa Bezzina, of Athleta Pembroke, has opened a wide gap over her nearest rivals in the women's category and at Birkirkara she should have no pressure to claim victory.
