DHL Express confirmed as logistics partner for Malta Marathon

For the second consecutive year, DHL Express has been appointed official logistics partner to the Malta Marathon Organising Committee. The agreement covers three events: the Ladies Running Club 10 km race, being held on Sunday, 11 October, 2015; the Urban Jungle Mdina 2 Spinola Xmas Road Race, to be held on Sunday, 20 December; and the 2016 Vodafone Malta Marathon that will be held on Sunday, 28 February.

DHL Express will be providing assistance to the organisers in all aspects of race logistics, including delivery of the medals from the manufacturers in the Far East, delivery of timing equipment, and a number of vans to help in the pre-race and race day logistics, including the transportation of the athletes’ belongings from the race start in Mdina to the finish while the races are in progress.
Just like they did last year for the first time ever in Malta, DHL race blankets will be given to athlete as they cross the finish line of the 2015 Urban Jungle Mdina 2 Spinola Xmas Road Race and the 2016 Vodafone Malta Marathon.
“We were extremely satisfied with the high level of professionalism shown by DHL Express during all the events in which they provided logistics expertise in the past 12 months. So much so that we very much would like to replicate that this year,” Malta Marathon Race Director Joe Micallef said.
DHL Express Country Manager, Malta, Charles Schiavone said providing such this level of service to the client’s entire satisfaction was all in a day’s work. “Our goal once more this year is to integrate seamlessly with the Malta Marathon Organising Committee and the hundreds of volunteers at all these races to ensure that everything runs smoothly and successfully,” he added.
Applications for the Ladies Running Club 10 km race are open and can be accessed from www.maltamarathon.com. Applications for the Urban Jungle Mdina 2 Spinola Xmas Road Race and the 2016 Vodafone Malta Marathon will be available on the site from 1 October.
