Directions for the route
In order to allow a free, passable and efficient passage for all runners in all assignments and levels, a number of routes were inserted on the track:
- To allow a free lane, for each race - there will be a separation of lanes on the road (checkpoints / cones / signage) where two runs will be run in parallel and / or a round trip of the same end. Beyond the opposite lane - contrary to the instructions and marking, is prohibited and may result in disqualification of the participant.
- Running throughout the race, will be in the right lane of the road: halfway back and forth - the lane farthest from the lake; Halfway back - the path near the lake.
- In the back-to-back section, the marathon runners will see to their left and opposite them, the column of the half-marathon runners returning (in some sections to the Tzemach junction).
- At the horseshoe point near Ein Gev, the runner will turn left and return to run on the right side of the road (adjacent to the lake). From here on, the run is the same as going back and forth, but on the path closest to the Sea of Galilee.
- The track will close 6 hours after the jump signal and the measurement on the finish line will stop.
- Runners running on the track at a slower pace will be asked to board the collection vehicle. It is forbidden to continue on the axis that may be open to traffic. The race management is not responsible for the safety of runners who are still in the field and refused to board the collection vehicle or evacuate from the track independently.

Medical guidelines
Pleasure, challenge, self-realization, social experience, and athletic achievement attract thousands to International Tiberias Winner Marathon
Standing at the starting line of the selected course and crossing the finish line with satisfaction requires proper preparation. Participating without proper preparation can lead to injury and medical hazards.
Physical Preparation
Before Starting Running Training
If you have any doubt regarding your medical fitness for running, we suggest that you contact your family physician or a sports doctor for a consultation.
Training
- If you’ve never run long distances, you should practice with a professional. Your training regime should include endurance and musculoskeletal exercises. You must conduct a training plan based on a personalized effort bar to avoid overexertion, which increases the risk of injury.
- Set running objectives (distance and time) that correspond with your physical training and fitness level.
- Participation in half marathons is recommended for athletes who ran at least 3 10K runs in the preceding two years.
- Participation in marathons is recommended after participating in no less than 2 half marathons in the preceding two years.
Injury or Illness during Training
- Any training missed due to injury or illness requires athletes to go back two training days on the plan. Confer with a professional on the best way to resume training after an illness.
- Running with a known injury that has not properly healed might exacerbate the injury and even cause irreparable damage.
- Where you suffered from a fever, upset stomach, or diarrhea one week prior to the race, avoid participating in the race.
The Ministry of Health recommends testing by a family physician or sports doctor prior to participating in the race.
- According to MOH guidelines, such an exam must include an ECG to rule out congenital heart defects.

- When it is hot, it is best to pour water on the head and body, chill in the water sprayers along the course and increase your fluid intake.
- Half marathon and marathon runners should also consume more salts (salt pills, isotonic beverage or gel) in order to prevent the development of hyponatremia.

After the run
