The International Jerusalem Marathon will take place for the second time in Jerusalem, on March 16, 2012. Last year, 9,434 runners participated, of which 766 came from 40 different countries.
The selected running tracks narrate the story of Jerusalem in the course of 3000 years of this city's history.
The track of the Jerusalem Marathon is breathtaking; it combines a challenge for the runners with splendid views and the typical culture of Jerusalem.

Not long ago, autistic and other special-needs children in Israel’s haredi (ultra-Orthodox) communities were often kept in the shadows. Parents feared this “defect” in their family would prevent their other children from finding good marriage partners.
