It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the GiG Malta Marathon 2021. We understand that, as a proud fixture on the calendar for thousands of local and international runners, this will come as a disappointment to many. Both the Malta Marathon Organising Committee and GiG, as the sponsor, take our responsibilities to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic seriously and the decision to cancel the event is therefore an understandable one, given the current circumstances.
The focus of the Malta Marathon Organising Committee is to ensure that all applicants for the 2021 event are contacted directly over the next few days.
People will run again soon, we can trust in that, as we look forward to welcoming you back to challenge the GiG Malta Marathon on the 6th March 2022.
