Runners will pass through some of Gozo’s most iconic locations, including the Citadel, Ta’ Salvatur Hill, Xagħra Square, Xwejni Bay, the Qbajjar salt pans, and the Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary, offering a racing experience that combines sport with the island’s natural beauty and heritage.
Run Gozo dates back to 1977, when it was first organised by a group of young people from the Xagħra Youth Centre.
More than 50 years later, the event is still run by a dedicated team of volunteers committed to delivering a memorable race while promoting active lifestyles and celebrating the Gozitan identity.
