• Jerusalem, is a holy city of three religions Islam, Judaism & Christianity – the capital of Israel. Jerusalem has 3,000 years of history, amazing landscapes and clear mountain air.

• Together with the hilly terrain you will experience Israel’s diversity of people, richness of flavours and tastes, and most of all, the history.  Join us for the International Jerusalem Winner Marathon!  With more than 30,000 participants across all the events its one of Israels biggest and best marathons. 

• The course is challenging because its hilly. The marathon begins at Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in the western part of the city.  Runners then loop around the Giv'at Ram campus of the Hebrew University, along the Valley of the Cross and run through various neighbourhoods on their way up to the Hebrew University's Mount Scopus in eastern Jerusalem.  The route then descents to the Old City, taking runners through Jaffa Gate and the Armenian Quarter and out the Zion Gate, on their way to the Jerusalem Forest.  Marathon entrants have 6 hours 30 minutes to reach the finish line in Sacher Park.

• We offer a six-night package based in Jerusalem, with a day excursion to Masada and the Dead Sea.  Your English-speaking guide will bring the past to life and show you the present times as you wander through the Holy City and surrounding sites.  Highly recommended is the four night post-race extension with two nights in the Galilee area and two nights in Tel Aviv.

• We look forward to hosting you in Israel!
