Run The Wall: Press release
Press release date
For immediate release
[Name of participant] from [Name of town] is [Running] [Walking] [Riding] the Israeli Separation Wall, with thousands of participants worldwide, in solidarity with Palestine.
Local resident [Name] is taking part in Run The Wall on the 25th, 26th and 27th of April 2025 as an act of solidarity with Palestine, to demand freedom of movement for Palestinians, and to demand their government implement international law and stop arming Israel.
Participants will run, walk, ride, or even swim 5-55 km, wherever they are in the world over the same weekend.
Human rights organisation Amos Trust started Run The Wall in 2021 with their Palestinian friends at Right To Movement when Covid-19 caused the Palestine Marathon in Bethlehem to be cancelled. Run The Wall has now become an annual event worldwide.
Each Spring, Amos Trust invites people worldwide to run for Palestine on the same weekend as 10,000 people participate in the Palestine Marathon. Furthermore, many of the thousands participating in over 30 countries will help raise funds for Amos Trust’s emergency appeal for Gaza and the West Bank.
[Optional participant quote]
“I am taking part in Run The Wall because...” [Background reasons for participating or involvement with Israel/Palestine over the years].

Majed Shala On Location
These graceful, moving and poetic drawings show tenderness and fragility in the midst of war. Ghostly figures locked in a tender embrace, defiantly looking at the sky in resilience and dignity. Majed Shala beautifully documents the human and emotional cost of war in Gaza and its tragic consequences on relationships and everyday life.
Palestine Justice
Mariam Salah On Location
Mariam bravely and fiercely creates artworks exploring the practice of Palestinian political prisoners smuggling sperm out of Israeli jails so that their wives can become pregnant. A doctor at a fertility clinic in Nablus stated that 22 women had undergone insemination using smuggled sperm. The success rate was low because of the difficulties of keeping sperm fresh during transportation from prisons in Israel to the West Bank.
