What is TEAM Shalva?
Team Shalva runners will once again hit the pavement on Friday, April 4 for the 2025 Jerusalem Marathon and we can't wait. Organizers expect the city to be 'electric' as this year's marathon is predicted to be bigger and better than ever before!

Team Shalva is a worldwide family that brings the joy of sports to people of all abilities. We are a diverse group of runners who travel from all over the world to participate in the Jerusalem Marathon in support of Shalva, waving the banner of love, hope, and human dignity.
