An Aerial View of Jerusalem 2011 Marathon Route

There is an article in Arutz 7 about the  route  for the Jerusalem Marathon to be held on 25 March 2011. To date close to 5,000 people have registered for the event, this includes over 1,000 participants from around the world. The route listed on the Marathon site winds through the capital city past many of the most renowned sites. Follow THIS LINK to an interactive map of the route. I have taken the names of the sites from the route and provided some links for your information.

The marathon will start at the Knesset, then to the Israel Museum, then The Supreme Court building, the Gerard Bechar Center, Mamilla, the Old City’s Historic Walls, the Jaffa Gate, the Zion Gate, Sultan’s Pool, The Israeli Cinemateque, The Menachem Begin Heritage Center,  The Jerusalem Khan Theater, The Residence of the President of Israel (primarily for ceremonial use), The Jerusalem Theater,  Mount Zion, Emek Refaim~German Colony, the Jerusalem Armon Hanatziv Promenade, the Mount of Olives, The Jerusalem Municipality,  Ammunition Hill, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Mount Scopus Campus ending up near the Supreme Court building.

Mayor Nir Barkat took a group of journalist for a "ride" using platform specially produced by the Dinner in the Sky company. The clip is a nice aerial view of Jerusalem...enjoy!
