49 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 30 OCTOBER 2016 Phenomenal response to inaugural Global Run Valletta ADRENALINE rush can make even the most veteran runners forget about time. The par- ticipants of Global Run Valletta (GRV) will have the chance to take home prizes that will let them enjoy their runs without losing sight of their next appoint- ment. Being organised on Sunday 30th October by Global Ports Holding – the world's largest cruise port operator and the majority share- holder in Valletta Cruise Port – GRV 2016 features a 10K run, a 5K run and a 5K walk on a course so riveting, registrations to the event have been fully booked and closed one week from the starting time. In the age category, the top three winners will vie for a Garmin Vi- voactive HR+, a Vivosmart HR+, or a Vivofit 3 specialised running watches. Men and women will be awarded separately. In the general category, the top five winners from men and wom- en groups each will win either a Garmin Forerunner 735XT, a Forerunner 630, a Forerunner 235, or a Forerunner 230 wear- able devices, as well as an Apple iPhone 7 (32GB) as the top prize. As an added incentive, an ath- lete who wins an award from the general category will not be eligible for an award in the age groups, thus giving opportunities for more athletes to win a prize. However, each participant who completes the route - whether running or walking - is awarded a unique medal especially minted for this occasion. The age cat- egories are: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 plus with ages cal- culated as on the day of the race. "The public response to our call to join and celebrate the splendour of Valletta while at the same time raise funds for Put- tinu Cares has been simply over- whelming. The fact that registra- tions reached the target for a first time event highlights the attrac- tion of Global Run Valletta," said Stephen Xuereb, Chief Operating Officer of Global Ports Holding and Chief Executive Officer of Valletta Cruise Port. All the monies collected will be donated to Puttinu Cares who has announced to use the funds to- wards the construction of a brand new housing project for Maltese patients and the relatives sup- porting them in central London. The organisers are welcoming more persons who would like to act as marshals along the route. More information can be ob- tained via email: info@ayp.solu- tions. Meanwhile, MCP Car Parks will switch on the lifts at 06:45am so people may park their vehicles at MCP Floriana. Vehicles can also be parked at the Atrium Car Park, the parking area adjacent to Q Bar, as well as opposite the Old Coleiro Winery. Race kits can be picked up on Saturday 29th October from 09:30am till 06:00pm with a race briefing at 05:00pm. The last kit delivery ends on Sunday 30th Oc- tober at 07:45am. Global Run Valletta will be a new race promoting running and active lifestyle, as well as posi- tioning Malta on the map for in- ternational road races. Past Glob- al Runs have been held in Kotor, Montenegro and Bodrum, Tur- key. This high-quality event will be held in accordance with the regulations of the Malta Amateur Athletics Association (MAAA) and the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF).

The Careers Convention is a direct result of the growing need to employ the best tal- ent in the field. The convention will take place on day two of the summit and will be open to graduates and IT developers with a keen interest in a career within iGaming. The Careers Convention is aimed at graduates from the University of Malta, MCAST and other private educational institutions. Partner- ships have already been forged with student faculty organisations such as ICTSA, ELSA, ASCS, UESA, GHSL and others. "It seemed fitting to introduce a careers convention this year to help meet the increasing demand for tal- ent", said SiGMA Managing Direc- tor Eman Pulis. SiGMA's Dennis Dhyr Hansen goes on to say "It is well known that recruitment re- mains one of the trickiest aspects of the gaming industry. This is where SiGMA can provide an excellent platform on the Maltese islands." James Cassar, Managing Partner at SiGMA's associates, My event plan- ner, said, "Through this year's event we want to create a bridge between students and the betting company world, where great employment op- portunities exist." The SiGMA organisers have lined 100 speakers, 150 sponsors and ex- hibitors and 3,000 attendees this year. SiGMA's over-arching goal is to bring the entire gaming com- munity together, from affiliates and operators to regulators and vendors and this year prospective employ- ees. Students interested in attending the convention can email reserva- tions@sigma.com.mt to request their invitation, which includes access to the expo floor, attend- ance to the Human Capital and Performance conference, network- ing drinks and the closing party.
