The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Gaza Marathon is a marathon race in the Gaza Strip organized by UNRWA to raise funds for the UNWRA Summer Games program for children in Gaza.1 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. The event was held for the first time on May 5, 2011, attracting more than 1,500 participants. In 2012, Gaza held the first international marathon welcoming runners from different parts of the world to run along around 2,000 runners from Gaza including participants with special needs, women and girls to raise funds for Palestine refugee children.2 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".
