The Ladies’ Running Club will be holding the 15th edition of its annual six-mile road race on Friday 16th September at 6pm. This year a four-mile walk will take place at the same time.

The race and the walk both start and finish in Ta’ Qali at the factory of Mdina Glass, which is the main sponsor of the event.

The route of the race will be the same as last year, starting at Ta’ Qali, going down Rabat Road to Attard, working its way to St. Catherine’s Hospital and then heading back to Ta’ Qali. The walk will start and finish with the race but cut straight through the top of Attard before heading directly back.

This year the LRC race is dedicated to fund raising for Cystic Fibrosis.

Generous cash prizes of Lm30, Lm20 and Lm10 will be given to first finishers of both sexes, as well as gym membership at Yada Fitness Factory to winners in all categories. All participants will receive goodie bags and be eligible for a raffle of many gifts.

Sponsors for the race and walk to date are Mdina Glass, San Michel, Team Sport, Sedqa, Cadbury, C. Camilleri and Sons, Yada Fitness Factory, Daryl Lea Foods, Marsovin, and Scott Supermarket.

Applications are available through the LRC website at www.ladiesrunningclub.com or from Wally Galea Souvenir Shop on South Street, Valletta. The closing date for applications is 12 September. Also, registration for the walk only can be made on the day of the race before 5pm For further information call 21430137 or 21313300.
