Malta’s flagship twiceyearly fitness fundraiser, The Challenge Malta organised by Garmin Malta, Jungle box and The Warehouse Fitness Studio, reached new heights during the last weekend of March, closing its latest edition with unprecedented participation and the highest fundraising total in its threeyear history. The event once again united athletes in support of Hospice Malta’s essential palliative care services.

This March edition welcomed 1,124 participants, the largest turnout the event has ever recorded. The Challenge Malta continues to attract a diverse mix of fitness enthusiasts, firsttime challengers, and returning supporters, all contributing to a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
The event was made possible through the dedication of 155 volunteers, whose coordination and commitment ensured a smooth and uplifting experience for all involved.

This edition raised an impressive €70,000, marking the highest singleevent contribution since The Challenge Malta began. These funds will directly support Hospice Malta’s mission to provide free, highquality palliative care to patients and their families. Across its six editions held over the past three years, The Challenge Malta has now raised a cumulative €245,000, solidifying its role as one of Malta’s most impactful communitydriven fundraising initiatives.

The Challenge Malta has evolved into a national movement, held twice a year and consistently expanding its reach. Each edition strengthens the bond between the fitness community and the cause it supports. Organisers expressed deep gratitude to participants, volunteers, partners, and sponsors whose enthusiasm and generosity continue to elevate the event’s impact.

The upcoming edition of The Challenge Malta will take place between the 11-13 September 2026 at Campus Hub, promising another dynamic weekend of fitness, solidarity, and community spirit.

The Challenge Malta March edition was sponsored by Campus Hub, Garmin, Sign It, Oysho, Nike, Groffe Elevator Services Ltd., Grenade, Renault, Red Bull, +boost, and the National Lottery.
