8th December 2026

Starting from Floriana, in the main road that that leads to Valletta, the Valletta edition takes runners along the capital city’s perimeter – the imposing bastions to one side and the majestic harbours of Marsamxett and Grand Harbour to the other.

Known to be one of the toughest races on the Maltese road running calendar, it still remains a firm favourite and closes off the Hudson Race Series – powered by Nike,  for the year.  Attracting veteran, seasoned and less experienced runners, this race draws a large crowd ready to face the challenging hills that dot the route.

The Race will take place on the 8th December, a public holiday. 

The 10k Race consists of two loops starting and finishing in Floriana.  Those wishing to run a shorter distance can cover 1 loop for a distance of 5k.
