A well-executed race from Aaron Mifsud saw him pip James Sciriha to the winner’s podium in the second race of the Eurosport BSJ 5k Road Running Series on Tuesday.
Held on the Mtarfa-By-Pass, the five-kilometre race saw the front runners group consist of Mifsud, Sciriha and Mario Grech. The latter shot out first to take the lead, which he kept until the end of the first lap, when he was overtaken by Sciriha. Continuing his noteworthy performance in the first Race, Sciriha led the way for most of the two-lap course, but in what was a flashback of the previous race, Sciriha had to contend with an attack from Mifsud on the final, and hilly part of the race to cross the finish line five seconds ahead of Sciriha.
