The 10th Jerusalem International Marathon, which was scheduled to take place in March 2020 and was postponed due to the spread of the corona virus, will take place on October 29 and has already registered more than 10,000 participants.
The marathon will offer six running events for all ages and different levels of difficulty, including: full marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, family race and community race.
According to Moshe Leon, Mayor of Jerusalem: "After a break of over a year, we return with the traditional Jerusalem Marathon. The marathon with the most beautiful landscapes in the world. I invite everyone to come and take part in the variety of assignments and run with us. We are waiting for you."
The Jerusalem Marathon will be run according to the guidelines of the green mark, ie anyone with an up-to-date green mark will be able to participate in the marathon without any restriction or need for further testing.
For the benefit of those who do not have an up-to-date green mark, the marathon organizers point out, he will be able to perform speed tests at the Cinema City complex.

"There is nothing like physical activity for physical and mental health, especially after the challenging period of the last year and a half. Running in the open air while following the organizers' instructions regarding corona rules, and especially getting organized before and after the run, will ensure a fun and safe event."
