The story

Tel Aviv Marathon in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv's flat, coastal marathon dates back to 1981, lapsed after 1994, and was revived in 2009, running each winter along the city's Bauhaus boulevards and beachfront, a UNESCO-recognized architectural stretch. Alongside the full marathon, the event includes a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and Kids Mini Marathon, plus a dedicated route for wounded IDF soldiers.

The Tel Aviv Marathon traces back to 1981, running annually until 1994 before lapsing for over a decade and being revived in 2009, since when it has continued as an annual fixture on the city's sporting calendar apart from 2021, when the coronavirus pandemic forced a shift to a digital event rather than an in-person race.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The course runs directly along Tel Aviv's UNESCO-listed White City boulevards and its Mediterranean beachfront with virtually no elevation change, making it a course some competitive runners specifically choose for personal-best attempts, and it includes a distinct Triumph of the Spirit route reserved for wounded Israel Defense Forces soldiers rather than open to general entry

02

The mystery stays covered

The same closed coastal course hosts everything from elite marathoners chasing qualifying times to a Kids Mini Marathon within one event weekend
