Zurrieq Half Marathon

Zurrieq Half Marathon is a 21 km race held in Żurrieq, Malta, in November.

A 10K run with a walking option shares the programme, and there is also a children's race for ages 5 to 15. Both main races start and finish opposite the parish church in Żurrieq.

The half marathon heads out through Qrendi and Mqabba to Kirkop, then continues to Hal-Far. It returns to Kirkop by way of tunnels and a roundabout, circles the edge of the village and runs back into Żurrieq for the finish. The 10K follows the same villages as far as Kirkop and shortens the return with a single loop around Kirkop.

The course was redesigned after the area gained a reputation for being tough, aiming for an easier and more appealing route. It runs on village roads that are open to traffic, so runners are asked to take care and use pavements where they can.
