Haifa Marathon

Welcome to the Haifa Marathon 2026. Six races - from the kids' race to the full marathon - along Dado Beach, Haifa. All races include a runner's bib, finisher's medal, water stations along the route, and other surprises. The competitive races (42.195, 21.1, 10, and 5 km) include electronic chip timing. An event T-shirt is available for purchase at an extra charge during registration. This year we're not just launching a marathon. We're creating a new tradition. For the first time in the city's history, an international marathon will take place - a major sporting event joining a long line of leading marathons around the world. This is a special moment for Haifa, for Israel's sports community, and for everyone who believes in a city's power to dream big and make it happen. The Haifa Marathon will allow thousands of runners to experience the city from a new angle, through a route that combines everything that makes Haifa the beautiful and special city it is in Israel. Our vision goes far beyond a single day's event. We aim to make the Haifa Marathon an annual tradition - an event that draws participants, families, and visitors from Israel and abroad, and strengthens Haifa's standing as a leading city in sports, health, tourism, and quality of life. You're invited to be part of a major, exciting sporting event - the first of its kind in the city's history. Whether you're running the full marathon, the half marathon, the shorter races, or coming to cheer from the sidelines - you're part of a historic moment and the birth of a new tradition.
