Today, 26th December 2021, marks the 26th edition of the annual charity event Istrina. This also marks it’s lucky 26tg birthday since it’s inception.
The marathon makes a yearly appeal among the Maltese and Gozitan people to collect well-needed funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund.
Under the patronage of President George Vella, the event will be taking place at Hal Kirkop’s Sport Complex, and transmitted live from mid-day onwards. Donations will be open throughout the event for anyone wishing to contribute to this iconic initiative.
The President took to Facebook to announce the event a few days ago, despite him and his wife not being able to physically attend the event due to self-isolation.
Nonetheless, it is an event which highlights the generosity of the entire island’s population, with last year’s Istrina gathering up to €6,573,105. Here’s to more!
