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.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
