The Gaza Marathon (Arabic: ماراثون غزة) is a marathon race in the Gaza Strip, Palestine organized by UNRWA to raise funds for the UNWRA Summer Games program for children in Gaza. In addition to the full marathon race (42.195 km, 26 miles 385 yards), there is also a half-marathon race and a 10 kilometers (6.21 mi) race. Children run stages of between 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) to 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) in relays over the whole marathon course.[1]
The event was held for the first time on May 5, 2011, attracting more than 1,500 participants.[2]
In 2012, Gaza held the first international marathon.[citation needed]
In 2013 the marathon was scheduled for April 10, but was cancelled following "the decision by the authorities in Gaza not to allow women to participate".[3]
