No.  This is not a certified, but we did our best to repeatedly measure the distance and adjusted the finish line to be as close to 5k as possible


The thrill of running through the woods with fellow trail runners is amazing.  There will be a homemade finishers medals to all age group winners.   A moisture wicking shirt is also available for an additional cost(otherwise the race fee with no-shirt option is very low).  The shirt will be same as the Road Malta5k.  If you participated in that event and would like a different option please e-mail Malta5kTrailRace@gmail.com with your bib# from the road race and we will prepare an alternative.


The path is wide enough for strollers, but we are not allowing strollers during this event due to safety concerns on the trail.  There are steep ridges, water bars and hills that are not conducive to pushing a stroller.  We strong stroller pusher attempted it on a practice run and swore he would never do it again.


The park does allow pets in general, but for this event we want to ensure all participants feel safe where there are ridges and hill climbs.  We will follow the Road Runners Club of America policy not allow dogs to be run with participants during this race.  https://www.rrca.org/education/event-directors/headphones-stroller-and-pet-guidelines/


We are using Underdog Timing as the official timer for this event.  Results will be uploaded to his website when available.  We will also post on social media when they become live.  https://underdogtiming.com/2021-race-results
