A number of roads will be closed and traffic will be diverted tomorrow as Malta hosts the 2016 Vodafone Malta Marathon.

Motorists are being urged to avoid the routes from Msida and Marsa between 9.30am and 1pm since it will be used as one of the main marathon routes. Likewise, motorists are urged to avoid the Pieta, Msida, Ta' Xbiex, Gżira and Sliema seafront between 9.30am and 1.30pm.

There will be no public transport service between 8am and 11.30am from Attard, Ta' Qali, Mrieħel, St Venera and Ħamrun to Valletta. During race time, some routes will be diverted and some bus stops will not be served.

The Ferries in Sliema is the finish line for both the marathon and the half marathon.

A record number of participants are expected to take part in this year's edition.
