Running for Palestine
As the Palestine Marathon takes place in Bethlehem, run wherever you are for Palestine.
On Friday 17th April, 10,000 Palestinian runners will be pounding the streets of Bethlehem for the 10th Palestine Marathon. The Palestine Marathon takes place in the shadow of the illegal Separation Wall, with locals and internationals coming together in Bethlehem to take on the full marathon, half, 10km or family 5km fun run.
Since 2020, Amos Trust has organised Run The Wall to coincide with the Palestine Marathon. Thousands of people around the world have run or walked in solidarity with Palestine over the same weekend.
