About the race
The Golan Volcano Race offers a unique terrain experience in the heart of the Golan, among dormant craters, volcanic peaks and green expanses stretching to the horizon. The extra-long route passes through three peaks - Avital, Bental and Yosifon - including about 700 meters of cumulative climbing. The short route, mostly on a scenic road then a forest trail overlooking the Hermon and northern Golan, starts at Mitzpe Golan orchards and ends at the Mitzpe Golan terrace. It includes 70 meters of cumulative climbing and a one-hour time window. The intermediate route commemorates Druze children who fell in the Iron Swords war, starting near the Kibbutz Merom Golan dining hall. It includes 157 meters of cumulative climbing, passes through Mount Bental and a wind turbine project, and ends at the same terrace. There's also a walking category in memory of Hagi Ben Ari, a fighter and paratrooper commander, starting at Mitzpe Golan orchards and including 432 meters of cumulative climbing.
