Eurosport Safi 5k Race

The next listed edition of the Eurosport Safi 5K Race is scheduled for 6 December 2026 in Safi, Malta, continuing a race that has grown into a well-liked year-end fixture for local runners and families. Organized by Rush Athletic Club in collaboration with the Safi Local Council and the South Region, the event is built around a World Athletics-certified 5K course through the village of Safi, with the main race followed by a 1K youth race and a fun run for children. Recent editions have been staged from Misrah Il-Knisja / Hal Safi Church, with start and finish in the same village-centre area.

What makes this event appealing is that it does not feel like an anonymous big-city 5K. Safi is presented in race listings and organizer materials as a quiet, scenic village setting, and the route is described as a road-based single loop with a rolling profile—good for runners who want a proper effort, but still accessible for those simply looking for a friendly, well-organized December race. Entry information from the latest published editions also points to practical extras that matter for participants: finisher medals, event shirts, chip timing, medical assistance, drink stations, and prizes for top finishers. The event’s recent history also suggests quality as well as atmosphere: the organizer reported that the 2024 edition produced five national category records and multiple personal bests, which reinforces the race’s reputation as a small but serious opportunity to finish the year with a strong run.
