JRS Malta is teaming up with Jesuits & Friends to launch the latest in a series of our fundraising efforts. This time, we are calling on all running enthusiasts to join the Jesuits & Friends Team at the LifeStar Malta Marathon and help raise funds for JRS in our mission to accompany, serve and defend refugees in Malta.
The idea is simple; if running is your thing, register to take part in the LifeStar Malta Marathon and join the “Jesuits & Friends” team to raise funds for our cause.
First things first:
- It’s happening on 22 February 2026
- Target for each participant is to raise €500 (It’s just a target. More, or less…every cent will count!)
Get started in 3 easy steps:
First register with the Malta Marathon HERE. (choose between: Marathon, Half Marathon or Walkathon)
Then register with Jesuits and Friends HERE.
And read more about where the money collected will go HERE.
A few other things you should know:
- Early bird registration for the marathon till 30th November! Registration will remain open but you need to book before this deadline to get a better deal.
- When registering for the race, indicate that you are part of the “Jesuits and Friends” Team
- The Malta Marathon fee IS NOT a donation to JRS Malta. That is a standard fee you pay when joining the official marathon.
What will you get once you’re part of our team?
-Support to set up a personalised “Whydonate” online crowdfunding page to help you reach your €500 fundraising target.
-Invitations to take part in two meetings (December and January)
-The opportunity of using the race track at the Mediterranean College of Sport, B’Kara.
-Invitation to be part of a Whatsapp group where you will receive support from a dedicated JRS Malta member of staff
-A “Jesuits and Friends” running vest.
