Besides helping hundreds of families escape the cycle of poverty, you will receive extra swag in our swag bag, support, pre-race meetups, assistance at the race, and more... Being part of the Team Lema'an Achai Runners means family-like support from the other runners and staff before, during, and after the marathon.
We ask each participant to raise 1,000₪ or $300 that goes directly to stopping poverty. Family teams of up to two related members are asked to raise 1800₪ or $500 and family teams of three related members are asked to raise 2500₪ or $700.
Additionally, those trying to earn a complimentary ticket from the USA or Europe for the marathon are required to raise $3000 by September 29th.
Lema'an Achai will use the money to directly support our 30+ programs which give people a "HAND UP" out of poverty. For more information about our holistic approach and the success of our programs, please look at our website at www.Lemaanachai.org
Of course! Lema'an Achai will provide you with an additional Lema'an Achai race shirt, snacks and other TLA swag. You'll also be invited to pre-race practices, and our "Super Pre-race Party". Our team is a family and supports each other before, during and after the race.

Each Race is different. And each race has multiple waves. The 42K race begins at 6:45, the 21k race has two waves that begin at 6:20 or 6:30, the 10k race has four waves beginning at 9:10, 9:30, 9:45, and 10:00, while the 5k race has two waves that begin at 7:15 and 7:30. All the runners on Team Lema'an Achai will be in the same wave as anyone else running that race so they will be able to run together and get to the starting line as a group.
