The Jerusalem Marathon (Hebrew: מרתון ירושלים) is an annual marathon running event held in Jerusalem during the month of March or April. The course begins at Israel's parliament (the Knesset) and the Israel Museum, passes through Mount Scopus and the Old City, and finishes at Sacher Park. The course record in the men's category was set in 2014 by Kenyan runner Ronald Kimeli Kurgat, and the course record in the women's category was set in 2016 by Kenyan runner Joan Jepchirchir Kigen.
Races at shorter distances (a 21.1km half-marathon, 10km and 5km races, a family race of 1.7km and a community race of 800m) are held in conjunction with the marathon.
The 2025 marathon, held on April 4, was won by Semenovych Bogdan from Ukraine at 02:22:47 and for women by Salgong Pauline Jepkirui from Kenya at 02:51:58 with about 40,000 participants.
