Jerusalem marathon postponed from March 27 to April 17

The Jerusalem International Marathon will be rescheduled for April 17, the municipality says. The annual event was originally scheduled for March 27, but has been postponed by three weeks for security reasons due to the war with Iran, it says.

Participants who had registered for the marathon will be automatically re-registered for the new date. Runners who wish to cancel their participation or transfer their registration to the 2027 marathon will be able to do so via the marathon website, the city says.

“The Winner Jerusalem Marathon is a major and important event for the city, runners from across the country, and the international community of marathon runners, but first and foremost, we are concerned about the safety of the participants, teams, and the public,” says Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion. “I thank all partners and participants for their patience and invite all registrants to register and participate in the marathon on the new date.”
