ABOUT SPARTANION

The Spartanion was born from a passion for ultra-marathon running with a clear mission: to create an event that offers runners a smooth and safe entry into the world of ultra-distance running.
The event was envisioned and brought to life by xperienced ultra-runner Gilad Krauz, who continues to manage it on a volunteer basis alongside a dedicated steering committee of Yossi Yahalom, Ayala Shertzer, and Dganit Maka-Krauz.
Set on a fast, flat, circular course in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park, the event offers optimal conditions for achieving Spartatlon qualification times. This unique combination has attracted runners from around the globe.
The course has already witnessed four world records, including two set by legendary ultra-runner Aleksandr Sorokin from Lithuania.
The inaugural Spartanion, held in 2020 on a circular course in the eastern section of Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park, set the stage for what was to come – with multiple Israeli ultra-running records falling in that very first event
