Tel Aviv Night Run

On Tuesday, Oct. 28, thousands of Israelis will be coming together at 8:00pm.  Not for a political event, or a concert.  It is for the non-stop city of Tel Aviv’s Night Run.  The urban 10K course goes through the main streets and attractions of the city.  The course includes:

Rabin Square: This is named after Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, who was assassinated in this square in 1995.  It is the location for numerous political rallies, parades, and other public events, including the Tel Aviv Night Run!
IMPORTANT NOTE: No, Rabin did not ironically get assassinated at a Square named for him.  Prior to his assassination, it was known as the Kings of Israel Square.  

Ibn Gabirol Street: This is a popular street filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants.  It is named after a medieval Hebrew poet and Jewish philosopher.  His writings are included in versions of today’s Jewish prayer book.

Rothschild Boulevard: This street is easily identifiable because of the wide, tree-lined pedestrian and bike lanes placed in the center of the road.  Independence Hall (where Israel’s Declaration of Independence was signed) is located here.

The Orchestra Plaza: This plaza is where several cultural institutions are located including a theatre and pavilion for contemporary art.  The idea to have this central location for culture was proposed in the 1920s and was complete in 1945.  This is also known as Habima Square.

Dizengoff: This street is named after the first mayor of Tel Aviv, Meir Dizengoff.  Located on this street is the popular Dizengoff Center mall.

Hayarkon Park: This urban park is the central place for outdoor concerts and includes spacious lawns, sports facilities, gardens, and a water park! It has been recorded that annually, this park has on average 16 million visitors.

Information about registration for the Night Run Tel  Aviv can be found HERE.

Additionally, there are runners who want to participate in a running event that is not commercialized.  Therefore, on Thursday, Oct. 30, there will be an open night run event.  Below is the background for why this event is happening and more information can be found HERE.

Note: Most of the information on the websites are in Hebrew.  No worries, though, just copy and paste the text you want translated into translate.google.com
