Malta's La Valette Marathon
The La Valette Marathon is Malta's most scenic running event, offering a journey through history along the Mediterranean coastline, with courses passing historic fortifications and UNESCO World Heritage sites, finishing at Fort St Angelo in Birgu.
In March, Malta's mild spring weather is perfect for exploring Valletta's fortified streets between miles, where you can soak up views of the Grand Harbour and the baroque St. John's Co-Cathedral. After the race, reward yourself with a plate of rabbit stew or pastizzi at a local café, and wander the Upper Barrakka Gardens as the island shakes off winter's quiet.
