今年もマルタマラソンに参加しました！毎年２月最終日曜日、東京マラソンと同じ日に行われています。フルマラソン、ハーフマラソン、そして歩いてもOKなウォーカソンの３部門に分かれ、島の内部に位置するイムディーナからバレッタへ、そしてスリーマへとコースが取られます。イムディーナは丘の上に位置するので、最初は下りが多いのですが、丘だらけのマルタ。その後、ダラダラとした上りなども現れ、見た目よりも少々キツめです。去年に続き、友人とウォーカソンに参加。おちゃらけランナーな私、今年は古くなった着物を利用して、日本チックに決めました。正絹なので、途中で少々暑かったのですが、まあ、ウケてくれたので上出来です。日本から、これに参加するためにいらした方々とも出会い、楽しい日でした。
Malta Marathon has come! It is held on the last Sunday of every February, the same day of Tokyo Marathon. There are 3 kinds; full marathon, half marathon, and walkathon in which you are allowed to walk. Starting from Mdina, heading down to Valletta, then goal at Sliema. The first half has down hills, and then very long mild uphills appear, very typical of this hilly island and a bit harder than it looks. I joined walkathon with my friend, same as last year. I'm a party runner. This year, I took an old Kimono for my costume. It was very good silk, which meant quite warm. Well, people liked it, so for me, all was good! I met Japanese runners who came to Malta for this event. It was a great day!!
