For an entry to be valid, entrants must complete the registration form on the Charity Run Malta website and pay the entry fee prior to cut-off date of the event. Following this, it is the participant’s responsibility to visit the race portal and complete the linking of their watch/fitness tracker application with the application of the Challenge prior to starting any activity they wish to count against the target of the challenge.

Breaking down/completing the challenge

Running, Walking, Cycling and even Swimming activities count. You can do as many activities as you like and cumulate your distance against the goal. The only limitation is to finish the challenge i.e. collect enough km by the cut-off date.

The Charity Run Malta 2021 219km Malta Circle Challenge opens on 1 May 2021: participants who have linked their tracker with our race portal before 1 May will have their activities calculated against the race target from this date.

Only activities completed AND synced with our race portal automatically count against your challenge target. For walkers and runners we recommend to leave 3 months to deliver this target but you participants can deliver this within any period between the opening and cut-off dates.

Please note that only activities that you do AFTER linking your tracker app with ours will be counted against your challenge target, we do not handle/track activities manually and we do not accept activities manually entered or GPX imported to tracking apps, including for indoor activities.
