The Malta Marathon was my 10th race in Europe! It was the first event where I actually felt like I was going to faint from hunger! I found some oranges at km 30, and I took a picture of them. The sunrise and the hunger stayed in my mind!

Excellent organization for the most part except for transport from Sliema to Mdina, which was somewhat disorganized at Sliema end. Otherwise, it was an amazing experience, and I definitely recommend it. First part is mainly downhill, so quite fast

It's a fun race and is starting to become a yearly appointment. I look forward to the next one. However, my main suggestion would be if participation is going to keep increasing, athletes need to start going out in groups.

I'm proud to say that I did my first marathon and it was the Malta Marathon. Full stocked aid stations every 5km and superb organization.

Its a flattish route, there are drink/fruit stations in every 5k distance. Almost every year we had a good weather during this race although it's done in February.
