“It is a huge opportunity to reach out to people who previously might not be aware of peaceful resistance ideas when it comes to Palestine. As our friends at Right To Movement say, “We run to tell a different story.” Eamonn Murphy, Northern Ireland (2021, 2022 and 2023) and the Palestine Marathon (2017)

Why Run the Wall?
Right To Movement

We started Run The Wall in 2021 with our friends at Right To Movement when Covid-19 caused the Palestine Marathon to be cancelled. In an extraordinary act of solidarity, runners from 15 countries joined runners from Palestine to run over 3000 km, five times the length of the Separation Wall.

Run The Wall has now become an annual event. Each year, we invite people worldwide to run for Palestine on the same weekend as 10,000 people participate in the Palestine Marathon in Bethlehem.

Please join us
You can run from 5km to 55km, whatever you can do, wherever you are — you can even walk. Just get involved. Please help us reach our goal of having 10,000 people worldwide running the Wall by 2025.

Fundraise through your run
If you are doing it, why not use it to help us raise the £30,000 needed to rebuild a Palestinian home destroyed by the Israeli Authorities?

“The camaraderie and spirit of inclusion were palpable on the global Run The Wall WhatsApp group. I especially felt connected to Palestine, seeing and hearing from those running the Wall for the right to movement.” Natasha Singh Ally, South Africa (2021, 2022 and 2023)

Rebuilding Home

For the last 12 years, Amos Trust has been rebuilding Palestinian homes destroyed by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). We work with the families, local builders, our partners Holy Land Trust and HIRN, and teams of UK volunteers to help rebuild their shattered homes and shattered dreams.

These families’ homes are on land owned by Palestinians in Area C which represents over 60% of the West Bank. It is under full Israeli control and it is almost impossible for Palestinians to get a building permit to build on their own land (over 98% of applications are refused) — so these families have no choice but to build without permission and run the risk of having their home destroyed. 

Over the last two years, the incidence of home destruction by the IDF has risen to the highest levels seen in 20 years. At the same time, the number of new illegal Israel settlements built on Palestinian land in Area C has risen rapidly.

Therefore, we are determined to rebuild as many homes as possible and need your help to raise the £30,000 it costs to rebuild a small Palestinian home.
 

“If we don’t build on the land, they will take it. If these people are forced to leave their homes, they will be gone forever.” Hamed from HIRN 

Palestine Marathon

In April 2013, Amos Trust took a team to Bethlehem to run the first Right To Movement Palestine Marathon. Since then, we have brought people to run in solidarity with Palestinians, to demand their freedom of movement and raise funds for our partners in Gaza and on the West Bank.
