A point-to-point marathon from Mdina, Malta's walled medieval capital, to the seafront at Sliema, with about 200 m of net drop from start to finish. It starts outside the Mdina walls and runs out through the towns and countryside of central Malta, with some short climbs along the way, before coming down to the harbour coast. The last part follows the seafront through Pietà, Msida, Ta' Xbiex and Gżira to the finish on the Sliema promenade, on roads shared with the half marathon. Route map and elevation profile below.
