This year’s Jerusalem Marathon will take place on March 18.
It’s the 6th year the marathon has been held, and is expected to bring in some 20,000 runners from more than 54 nations.
The events include a full marathon, a half-marathon, a 10Km race and a 4.2 Km run – all of which pass through Jerusalem’s unique landscape, rich in history, religion and culture.
The topography of the city lends itself to a challenging route that will test even the most experienced of runners. At the same time, the course takes the runner on a unique path through Jerusalem’s 2000 year historical narrative, on the cobblestones of the ancient and holy walled city of Jerusalem and through the modern city center of Israel’s capital. The course includes the city’s best known sites including, among others, the Knesset, the Old City, Sultan’s Pool, Mount Zion, the German Colony, the Jerusalem Promenade and the Mount of Olives.
