About
The race
The Jerusalem Marathon takes runners through the historic and modern districts of Jerusalem, passing landmarks such as the Old City walls, the Knesset, and several major boulevards and parks. The course is known for its challenging profile, with numerous climbs and descents as it winds through the city’s hilly terrain. Runners experience a mix of historic streets and modern neighborhoods, making the race both scenic and demanding compared with flatter city marathons.
