The second edition of the SmartCity Malta 8km race, organised by St Patrick’s Athletic Club, will be held on Sunday.
Starting from the SmartCity Malta car park in Ricasoli at 8.30am, the race will proceed to Bighi and Kalkara, descend to Xgħajra beach and return to the meeting point.
An 8km walkathon and a 2km junior race will also be held concurrently, making it a morning out for the entire family.
Commenting on SmartCity Malta’s backing for the race, chief executive officer Anthony Tabone said: “Following the success of last year’s event, we are proud to be once again associated with this race.
“As an international work-play-live business township concept, with localised practices, SmartCity Malta’s support for St Patrick’s Athletic Club is in line with our commitment to promote a healthy work-life balance.”
Trophies, sponsored by SmartCity Malta, will be awarded to the first three male and female finishers, the top three runners in all age-groups from over 35 years at each five-year stage and the first-placed U-25 athletes.
All participants will receive a commemorative memento and other goodies.
Application forms may be downloaded from the official website of St Patrick’s Athletic Club, www.stpatricksac.com.
Participants can also apply online on the club’s website where official results will be posted 24 hours after the race.
