The St Patrick’s Athletic Club will hold its now traditional Gudja 8K road race on Sunday, October 9 at 8.30 a.m.
The race starts from near the club’s premises and will also feature an 8km walk and a 2km junior race.
Due to works currently underway at Vjal il-Kunsill ta’ l-Ewropa, the route has been altered slightly.
The revised itinerary takes runners towards Tal-Barrani, the Sta Luċija perimetre road and along the stretch to the airport.
The route then turns right just before the traffic lights and out on the Gudja bypass.
Athletes enter the village centre just before Ħal Far Road before crossing over to the Għaxaq bypass for a final sprint home.
Last year’s 8K saw two St Patrick’s athletes run out as winners with Jonathan Balzan and Joelle Cortis clocking times of 26.39 and 32.38 respectively.
