150,000 expected at 2015 Tel Aviv Marathon Events

Largest Sports Event in Israel's History: 2015 Tel Aviv Marathon in the
Nonstop City
Tel Aviv Municipality

More than 40,000 runners are expected to descend upon Tel Aviv to
participate in the 2015 Tel Aviv Marathon. Taking place on February 27th
2015, runners from Israel and abroad will participate together in Israel's
largest international sports event.

42.195 km long, the marathon ends next to Ganei Yehoshua Park with an
after-party for the participants and events throughout the evening. A large
expo will take place in Rabin Square from February 22nd – 25th with runners'
kit distribution, lectures and booths run by world leading sports companies.
The traditional pasta party will happen the night before the marathon which
will be a day of celebration with music playing along the route in keeping
with the flair of Tel Aviv's world famous Nonstop City life.

The marathon is as diverse as its participants and encompasses the entire
city, passing through the heart of Tel Aviv and its main streets and sites.
The route incorporates the sensational Rothschild Boulevard and other
tree-lined streets of the Nonstop City exhibiting the vast collection of
Bauhaus buildings, the Azrieli sky scrapers, the 8km stretch of beach
promenade along the Mediterranean, the Sarona Templars Colony, HaYarkon Park
and the ancient city of Jaffa and its historical port.

Tel Aviv Marathon 2015 is expected to draw 150,000 people to participate in
the plethora of events surrounding the full-marathon. Additional sports
events include a half-marathon, 10km and 5km races and a hand-cycle race.

Last year's record for the Tel Aviv Marathon was set by Ezekiel Koech from
Kenya and is expected to be broken again this year. Bonus monetary prizes of
$25,000are available to those men and women able to complete the full
marathon within designated time frames. Both international runners will
compete alongside Israelis (including 800 of Israel's fittest police
officers) for first place.

Ron Huldai - the Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo: “The 2015 Tel Aviv Marathon is one
of the most spectacular races in Israel and stands alongside the great
marathons of the world. The marathon is a big celebration not only for the
athletes but also for the city's residents and its visitors, and this year
we are glad to celebrate with a record number of participants".
