Tel Aviv Marathon, live.

From Park Hayarkon to the Jaffa clock tower and back

The Tel Aviv Marathon fills the city's streets on a Friday morning in late February, with every race starting and finishing beside Park Hayarkon.

The next Tel Aviv Marathon is on Friday 26 February 2027. Four distances are run on the day: the full marathon, the half marathon, a 10 km and a 5 km, all starting and finishing at the gate on Rokach Boulevard, between Park Hayarkon and Merkaz Hayeridim. A children's mini marathon in Yarkon Park comes first, on Wednesday 24 February, with races of 400 m, 800 m and 1.2 km.

The half marathon goes first, in two groups from 06:00, and the full marathon starts at 07:15. The marathon reaches Clock Tower Square in Jaffa at km 18 and passes Dizengoff Square heading south at km 31.5. Both are cut-off points, at 2:25 and 4:15 after the start, and the finish closes 5:50 after the start. The organiser publishes a GPX file for each distance.

The 10 km sets off in four waves from 09:00 and the 5 km in two waves from 10:45, with limits of 1:30 and 45 minutes. That spread of start times makes it a day for everyone, from people chasing a marathon time on city roads to families walking the 5 km together. Entry prices step up after 30 November 2026 and again after 20 January 2027.

Gates open to the public at 04:30 and the event closes at 13:15. Supporters can wait by the start and finish area beside Park Hayarkon, and Dizengoff Square is a good place to see marathon participants in the second half of their race.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from the organiser of the Tel Aviv Marathon.
