Malta Record Set For Smallest Carnival Float

Mar 3 2025

The Malta Carnival was filled with excitement, even breaking records. The smallest float, crafted from recycled materials, measured 2.30 feet in length, 1 foot in width, and 1.11 feet in height.

The miniature float was created by Josef Ciappara and his wife Chantelle, with the help of their young son Matteo, to whom the float was dedicated.

Malta Records is proud to contribute to the Malta Carnival by presenting more records that continue to highlight the talent of the Maltese and Gozitan people.

Strikes from Andrei Ciolacu, Enoch Matiti, and Jake Azzopardi ensured Valletta extended their lead at the top to 16 points, making their promotion mathematically certain despite still having matches to play.

For a club with Valletta’s rich history, last season’s shock relegation— their first in 120 years— was a bitter pill to swallow.

However, their swift return to the top tier saw well-deserved celebrations by the entire team, staff of the club and supporters.

The third edition of Caritas Run For Life 2025 took place yesterday, Sunday, March 2, at Caritas Malta San Blas.

The centre, which usually welcomes individuals seeking rehabilitation services, opened its doors to a record-breaking crowd.

From early morning, participants gathered outside the Therapeutic Rehabilitation Center, eager to take part in what has now become an annual event in Caritas Malta’s calendar.

This year’s run saw an impressive turnout of over 1,300 participants, competing across various categories. Many chose to run 5km or 10km, others walked 4km or 5km, while children participated in races of 1km and 2.5km.

Winners were celebrated across different age groups, with The Club securing first place for club participation, followed by Obstacle Course Academy and Aloysians Athletics Club. Convenience Shops was also recognised for encouraging the highest number of employees to join.

Registrations had to close five days before the event after reaching maximum capacity.

The run was made possible through the support of sponsors, volunteers, and organisations like Sport Malta, St Patrick’s Athletic Club, and Convenience Shops. Thanks also went to St John Ambulance and Rescue Malta, LESA, the Malta Police Force, and Transport Malta, which facilitated logistics.

The event promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle, raises funds for Caritas Malta’s free services, and highlights the work of San Blas and other Caritas communities.

Among the notable participants were Prime Minister Robert Abela, who completed the 10km run, and Former President George Abela, who took part in the 5km walk.
