The 14th Żurrieq half marathon, organised by Żurrieq Wolves AC in conjunction with the Local Council and Kunsill Malti għall-iSport, will be held on November 6.

The start and finish of the race are unchanged with the gantry again situated in Misraħ Mattia Preti, right in front of the parish church.

The route, marked in kilometres only, passes through the picturesque villages of Żurrieq, Safi, Mqabba, Siġġiewi, Qrendi and Kirkop. The time limit for applicants is 2hrs 30 minutes, making it accessible also to those who intend to walk-jog part of the race.

Race numbers may be collected from the club on November 4.

Currently, the race record is held by Christian Nemeth. The Belgian clocked 1:09:36 in 2006. Carol Walsh covered the distance in 1:20:37 back in 2004 to retain the best time in the women’s race.

Other sponsors on race day will be Mazini Auto Parts, TeamSport, Canadian Mini Market, San Michel and Health Aid.
