RACE 27
Starting point’s parking lot – ‘Ein Kobi’ 6 KMs – difficulty is medium – starting at the big parking lot behind the fire station. the first 1.5 KMs are on a wide white trail in the woods to allow the runners to start the run conveniently. slowly, the trail becomes more narrow and cross the vineyards and fields of the settlements around. After 3 KMs you get into the most beautiful singles of the forest at the ‘Ein Kobi’s area and enjoy from the narrow and magical paths the area has to offer. the singles lead us once up and once down until the exit at the station.
‘Ein Kobi’ – ‘Yad Kennedy’ – 6 – 11.5 KM – a section hard by difficulty – you get out of ‘Ein Kobi’ on a decline towards ‘Shvil Israel’ to ‘Nachal Sorek’s wadi. At the beginning of the decline the trail is convenient but after cross another white wide trail the trail becomes narrow and pretty technical. After succeeding the decline, you run after the bridge and start climbing the long and exhausting climb of the ‘Pirate’s trail. Eventually, at the end of the climb, you’ll get to the view road next to ‘Hervat Se’adim’ – before the short steep climb to ‘Yad Kennedy’ itself and the panoramic view from there.
‘Yad Kennedy’ – ‘Jerusalem Zoo’ – 11.5 – 20 KMs – difficulty is easy to medium – a section filled with white convenient trails for running, starting with a decrease and later on horizontal until the last KM which is on a road leading to the zoo. On the way you will pass the beautiful terraces of ‘Batir’ and ‘Ein Lavan’.
‘Jerusalem Zoo’ – ‘First Station’ – 20 – 27 KM – difficulty is easy – most of the section is on the railroad. You got out of the zoo station and start running with an incline on the urban railroad. Going through the olive trees, ‘Kiryat Ha’Sport’ and slowly through the neighborhoods of the city. The excitement is rising as you get closer to the finish station at the center of Jerusalem.
