Express Trailers Zurrieq Half Marathon & 10K

The topographical features and the bad state of a number of roads surrounding Zurrieq make finding an ideal route a difficult task. The Zurrieq Half Marathon was known for it's tough course so the Malta Marathon Organising Committee's prime task when asked to organise this event by the Zurrieq Wolves Athletic Club in 2013 was to change the route to one that was less strenuous and more attractive to prospective participants. Together with a new half marathon route the MMOC had to find a 10K route that was to be incorpoarted as a new event with the half marathon.We believe that we have found 2 routes that will no longer make the Zurrieq event known for it's tough route. With the right weather conditions and a strong runner we are bound to see the Zurrieq Half Marathon record beaten.Both the half marathon and 10K pass by a number of surrounding villages.Half Marathon:The start of the Half Marathon starts right in front of the Zurrieq Parish Church.Start to 1km - Zurrieq to Qrendi1km to 3km - Qrendi to Mqabba3km to 5km - Mqabba to Kirkop5km to 8km - Kirkop to Hal-Far8km to 15km - Hal-Far past the Malta International Airport to Kirkop15km to 17km - Round Kirkop17km to 18km - Kirkop to Mqabba18km to 20km - Mqabba to Qrendi20km to 21km - Qrendi to ZurrieqThe finish is also opposite the Zurrieq Parish Church10K:The start of the Half Marathon starts right in front of the Zurrieq Parish Church.Start to 3km - Zurrieq to Safi3km to 4km - Safi to Kirkop4km to 6km - Round Kirkop6km to 7km - Kirkop to Mqabba7km to 9km - Mqabba to Qrendi9km to 10km - Qrendi to ZurrieqThe finish is also opposite the Zurrieq Parish Church
