Savio 10k – 2015: Success

For the second time round, the Savio AC 10k and 2k races were organised on February 8^th 2015, just two weeks prior to the Malta Marathon, making them an excellent final test. The 10k race was a unique tough race combining spectacular views and fresh air as the route goes through Buskett and along Dingli cliffs, while the 2k race was run in a completely traffic free environment, along Dingli’s countryside rubble walls and fields.

A record number of participants took part in this year’s race, including a few elite athletes. Keith Galea of Birkirkara St. Joseph finished first in an impressive time of 35:10, breaking the course record. He was followed by Pembroke Athleta’s Drew Lang in 36:46 and Piotr Januszewski of Scorpionstore.eu in 38:59. Hannah Pace of Pembroke Athleta crossed the line first for the ladies in 41:08. Starmax’s Josann Attard Pulis, who was last year’s winner, finished in second place with a time of 41:41, closely followed by Margaret Seguna of Mellieha AC in 41:56.

In the Junior’s race, Isaac Bonett of Pembroke Athleta managed to finish the race first for the second consecutive time in 7:02. He was closely followed by Jake Gauci of Savio AC in 07:11 and Pembroke Athleta’s Anton J. Debono in 7:19. Thea Bonett of Pembroke Athleta finished first for the girls in 7:54, followed by Nicole Sciberras of Starmax in 08:00 and St. Martin’s Alexandra Savona in 08:18.
