History
Prior to the formation of the current event in 2011, a Jerusalem Marathon was staged for three years running between 1992 and 1994.
The marathon was reestablished in March 2011 and drew 10,000 participants from 40 countries. That year, the three leading runners in the men's race veered off course and arrived at the wrong finish line.[11][12]
The 2012 event, which drew 15,000 runners including 1,500 from 50 countries outside Israel, was marked by rain, strong winds, and pounding hail.[13][14]
In 2013, twenty thousand runners from 54 countries participated in the third Jerusalem Marathon.[15] The Palestine Liberation Organization called for participants and sponsors to boycott the race in 2013.[16]
In 2014, the number of participants rose to over 25,000.[17]
The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of transferring their entry to 2021 or obtaining a refund.[18][19][a]
