The story
Gozo Half Marathon in Xaghra/Victoria route
The Gozo Half Marathon is a distance-running event held on Gozo, following a route between Xaghra and Victoria and likely additional towns, drawing local and visiting runners for a race that takes in the island's rural roads and historic centres. It complements Malta's larger, better-known marathon events with a dedicated Gozitan race on quieter, more rural terrain.
Gozo has long positioned itself as the calmer, greener alternative to Malta's busier main island, its landscape of terraced fields, low stone walls and small hilltop villages offering a very different backdrop for outdoor activity than Malta's denser coastal towns.
