With the right training, preparation, determination, and effort, absolutely you can do it. Choose the race distance that feels right for you (1.7k family race, 5k, 10k, 21.1k, or the full 42.2k), follow a training plan, and work your way toward the finish line, one step at a time.

Please note it is absolutely imperative to train for a marathon. Runners spend months training prior to running in marathons. Be sure to research this topic.

Registration is a two-step process:

• Sign up here to join the United Hatzalah Marathon Team and commit to a minimum $360 fundraising goal.
• We’ll send you a discount code to complete your official race registration on the Jerusalem Marathon website.

Please note: Signing up with United Hatzalah does not automatically register you for the marathon. You must complete both steps.

Early bird registration for the Jerusalem Marathon is available through December 2, 2026. Register early to take advantage of early bird pricing.

After registration approval, we will email you a personalized fundraising link. You can also find this link when you sign in to your account.

If a sponsor prefers to donate by check or bank transfer, please contact Yoni Spigelman at [email protected] with the sponsor’s name and donation amount.

You don’t need to be an experienced fundraiser to succeed! We’ll provide you with simple tools, tips, and strategies to help you reach out to friends, family, neighbors, and your community. You may be surprised by how many people are excited to support your run and help you raise funds for a lifesaving cause.

You can always create your own team from your yeshiva, seminary, city, or just a bunch of friends. We will include your own custom team logo on the United Hatzalah shirt for teams with at least 10 runners with a minimum of $5,000 raised.
