RUN THE WALL Bethlehem 25 April 2025 (HLT)

Together, we aim to gather 500 participants to run from Manger Square, past the Separation Wall near Rachel’s Tomb, through Aida Refugee Camp, and back to the square. This symbolic route highlights the physical and emotional barriers Palestinians face every day.

Bethlehem’s local run is part of a global movement. Across more than 15 countries, thousands will run, walk, cycle, or swim as part of the Run the Wall campaign by Amos Trust—raising awareness and calling for justice, dignity, and peace.

What is RUN THE WALL?

Run the Wall is a global solidarity initiative organized by Amos Trust, inviting individuals worldwide to run, walk, cycle, or swim any distance between April 25–27, 2025, in support of Palestinian rights. The event coincides with the weekend originally scheduled for the Palestine Marathon, which has been postponed due to the current situation in the West Bank.

Participants are encouraged to:

• Run where they are: Choose any distance from 5km to 55km—it’s the act of participation that counts.
• Stand in solidarity: Support Palestinians’ right to freedom of movement and protest against the restrictions imposed by the occupation.
• Raise awareness and funds: Highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank and contribute to Amos Trust’s emergency appeal.
