La Valette Marathon Vittoriosa, Malta   Mar 22, 2026

The first AIMS accredited marathon and half marathon in Malta, the La Valette Malta Marathon is organised by Corsa race events. The route takes runners along some of the most breathtaking views on the island, running all along the historical Valletta coast, with open seas on one side and the majestic medieval fortifications on the other. The race passes by the Grand Harbour and finishes in style in Vittoriosa in the historical centre of the The Three Cities. The La Valette Malta Marathon is a road marathon with a mostly smooth, paved route. There are areas where the paving is slightly erratic but for the most part can be considered a road race.

The half marathon has a 132m elevation gain and a 143m elevation loss with a net loss of 11 metres overall, and the full marathon has a 302m elevation gain and a 318m elevation loss netting a 16m drop for an average-paced race. There is a 21.1km half marathon and the same route will be used for a walkathon.
