The 10th edition of the Maxim Sports Nutrition Zurrieq Half Marathon will be held on Sunday. A good number of local and international participants are expected to tackle the demanding yet scenic route. The race starts from the Zurrieq Main Square at 8.30am and will finish in the same location after passing through the towns of Safi, Kirkop, Mqabba, Qrendi and Siggiewi.

While the half marathon is being held, a 3Km non competitive fun run will also be organised. This event is organised to promote the sports of long distance running and is opened to all age groups. The participants can opt to walk the route should one want too. This fun run will also serve as a fund raising event to collect funds for Puttinu Cares which is an organisation dedicated to helping children sick with various forms of cancer. A commemorative medal will be presented to all the finishers.

To participate in the fun run one needs to register at the Zurrieq Main Square by not later than 8.15am on the day of the event. No entry fee is being requested but a

donation will be very much appreciated.
