Women Race 2026

 
When you sign up for the Team Lifeline Israel Women’s Race, you're not just lacing up for a 5K or 10K—you’re standing alongside children in Israel who are fighting the biggest battle of their lives: cancer.

        Every dollar you raise supports Chaiyanu, an organization that brings real hope, strength, and relief to these children and their families—whether it’s financial support during treatment, emotional care, or the strength of a community that refuses to let them feel alone.

        The 2026 race weekend takes place January 1–3 . and it’s packed with energy, inspiration, and unforgettable moments. It all starts Thursday night with our legendary Pasta Party at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel—a celebration filled with dancing, music, delicious food, and your first chance to meet the incredible girls and women who make this team feel like family. You’ll pick up your swag bag (yes, the custom race jersey is included!) and feel the pre-race excitement kick in.

        On Friday, January 2, you’ll be picked up early in the morning from one of several designated stops (locations will be shared closer to race day) and taken to the race site. After your 5K or 10K walk or run—no matter your pace—you’ll celebrate at the finish line with a medal, a delicious breakfast, and a huge sense of accomplishment. Then, you’ll either be dropped off at your original pickup spot.

        Raising $2,300 or more earns you a beautiful and uplifting Shabbat experience—with delicious meals, powerful programming, soulful singing, and the kind of warmth and connection you’ll remember forever.

        No experience? No problem. This event is open to seminary girls, working women, moms, teens, and everyone in between—and you don’t need to be a runner to be part of the magic. From the moment you sign up, we’ve got your back. You’ll be added to our WhatsApp group for training tips, encouragement, and updates, and we’ll also share important info via email.

        Here’s how the fundraising works:

        >$1,000 – Pasta party + race

        $2,300+ – Pasta party, race, and Shabbos

        $5,500+ – All of the above plus round-trip flights from the U.S. or Europe

        Starting at $5,500, your fundraising commitment includes up to $1,000 toward your round-trip flight from the U.S. or Europe, plus a two-night stay at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel (Thursday and Friday). Once you sign up, you can work with our dedicated travel agent to reserve your preferred flights early to secure the best options. Your ticket will remain valid as long as you meet the $5,500 fundraising goal before the deadline.

        Please note: Fundraising must be completed two weeks before the race. After that, registration will depend on availability.

        As one runner put it:

        “The reward, inspiration, friendship, and fulfillment I received from the past few days will stay with me forever. Definitely one of my favorite memories from my two years in Israel—and I’m ready to do it all again!”

        So—are you ready to be part of something bigger? To challenge yourself, uplift others, and create a memory that lasts forever?

        This is your race. This is your moment. Let’s run with purpose.
