Every spring, thousands of runners from across the globe gather in one of the world’s most iconic cities for an event like no other – the Jerusalem Marathon. With courses winding through ancient streets, past world-famous landmarks, and along breath taking hilltop views, this is more than just a race: it’s a journey through history, culture, and faith.
In 2026, you could be part of it. Whether you choose the full marathon, half marathon, or 10K, the atmosphere is electric, the scenery unforgettable, and the experience truly once in a lifetime.
And because we know a trip like this should be about more than just the run, we’ve created two unique tours that combine the excitement of race day with the chance to explore the highlights of Israel.
The Jerusalem Marathon is unlike any other race. Where else will you run through streets that have stood for millennia, past sacred sites revered by three major religions, while surrounded by the energy of thousands of fellow runners from around the world?
Breath taking course: challenging but rewarding routes with spectacular city and mountain views.
Historic setting: experience Jerusalem’s Old City like no other – running past landmarks you’ll later visit in depth.
Global community: connect with runners of all ages, nations, and backgrounds.
Festival atmosphere: the whole city comes alive on race day, creating memories you’ll never forget.
To make the most of your time in Israel, we’ve designed two fully guided packages that combine the marathon with sightseeing, cultural experiences, and seamless travel arrangements. Whether you want a shorter break focused on the essentials, or a longer adventure exploring Israel’s highlights, we’ve got you covered.
