The 16th edition of the international Żurrieq Half Marathon, organised by the Żurrieq Wolves Athletics Club (ZWAC) in collaboration with the Local Council, will take place on Sunday.

Sponsored by Express Trailers, the 21km road race starts and finishes in Żurrieq’s main square, taking runners through some of the most quaint villages of the south, namely Qrendi, Mqabba, Safi and Kirkop, and again in Żurrieq.

This year, Żurrieq Wolves have teamed up with the Malta Marathon Organising Committee in a bid to take the race’s organ-isation to a new level.

Over 600 athletes have confirmed their participation in the half marathon and the 10K run.

Also on Sunday morning, the Kunsill Malti għall-iSport (KMS) will hold activities to promote other sport disciplines, namely volleyball, martial arts, basketball and handball.

The Żurrieq Wolves football nursery will host a series of fun events in Mattia Preti Square (Bus Terminus) between 9am and noon.
