The 12th International Jerusalem Winner Marathon, scheduled for March 17, 2023, is anticipated to draw tens of thousands of runners from Israel and throughout the globe.
Along with providing amazing views of both the city’s new and historic areas, the Jerusalem Winner Marathon route also puts runners’ endurance to the test with its challenging hills and high inclines. It makes sense why it is regarded as one of the world’s most stunning and difficult marathon courses.
The Knesset, the Supreme Court, the Israel Museum, the White House, the Old City walls of Jerusalem, the Armenian Quarter, the Tower of David, the Khan Theater, and the Sultan’s Pool are all included in the course. Sacher Park is where the race concludes.
The Jerusalem “Winner” Marathon serves as a celebration for the city of Jerusalem, bringing tens of thousands of tourists to the area throughout the course of the marathon weekend in exchange for special deals, vacation packages, and other perks.

Sammy Yahia, Israel’s Director of Tourism to India and the Philippines ” I am thrilled that everything is getting back to normal. We have been waiting since the first wave of the pandemic brought the world to a standstill two years ago. We are confident that visitor numbers will gradually recover to pre-pandemic numbers as consumer confidence grows in line with the gradual easing of restrictions. Our first, and most important priority is the safety and well-being of all those who wish to travel to Israel and starting next week, I look forward to welcoming Indian runners to participate around the beautiful sites of Jerusalem.”
