Women Race 2027

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 organisation that brings real hope, strength, and relief to these children and their families. Whether it's financial assistance during treatment, emotional support, or the strength of a community that refuses to let them face cancer alone, your fundraising makes a meaningful difference.

The 2026 race weekend takes place January 14-17 and is packed with energy, inspiration, and unforgettable moments. It all begins on Thursday evening with our legendary Pasta Party at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel—a celebration filled with music, dancing, delicious food, and your first opportunity to meet the incredible women and girls who make this team feel like family. You'll pick up your swag bag (including your custom race jersey!) and feel the excitement build for race day.

On Friday morning, participants will be picked up from one of several designated locations (shared closer to race day) and transported to the race site near the Plaza. Whether you choose to walk or run the 5K or 10K, crossing the finish line is an unforgettable experience. Afterwards, you'll celebrate with a finisher's medal, a delicious breakfast, and a huge sense of accomplishment before returning to your original pickup location.

Raise $2,300 or more and you'll also enjoy a beautiful Shabbat experience, including accommodation at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel, delicious meals, inspiring programming, uplifting singing, and the warmth and connection that make this weekend so special.

This event is open to women of all ages and abilities. Whether you're a seminary student, a mum, a working professional, or simply looking to be part of something meaningful, we'd love to have you. Women travelling from outside Israel are also welcome, and many choose to make the weekend even more special by visiting daughters studying in seminary and participating together. Please note that this is a women-only event. (We also host a separate men's race.)

No running experience? No problem! From the moment you register, we'll support you every step of the way. You'll receive your own fundraising page, be added to our WhatsApp community for training tips, encouragement, and updates, and receive important information by email to help you prepare for race weekend.

To participate, meeting the fundraising minimum is required. Raise a minimum of $1,000 and you'll receive entry to the race and the Pasta Party. Raise a minimum of $2,300 and you'll enjoy the race, Pasta Party, and the full Shabbat experience, including accommodation. Raise a minimum of $5,500 and you'll receive everything above, plus up to $1,000 towards a round-trip flight from the U.S. or Europe and a two-night stay (Thursday and Friday) at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel. Raise a minimum of $7,000 and you'll receive everything above, plus a third night at the hotel and a special Sunday trip.

Participants are responsible for booking and paying for their own flights. If you reach the $5,500 fundraising goal by the end of November, we can arrange and book your flight on your behalf. If you have not yet reached the goal by then, you're welcome to book your own flight. Once you've successfully raised $5,500, we'll reimburse up to $1,000 towards your round-trip airfare. Flight reimbursements are typically processed within two months after the race. Any airfare costs above $1,000 are the participant's responsibility.

Registration and the required fundraising minimum must be completed three weeks before the race. After that date, registration will be based on availability, and we cannot guarantee a place in either the race or the Shabbat programme.

All donations are tax deductible. If you require an Israeli tax receipt, please contact us via WhatsApp, and we'll provide you with the appropriate donation link.

As one runner shared: "The reward, inspiration, friendship, and fulfilment I received from the past few days will stay with me forever. Definitely one of my favourite 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 memories that will last a lifetime? This is your race. This is your moment. Let's run with purpose.
