Night Run Tel Aviv 2025

Each stride became a prayer—for those whose journeys are hidden. For people who, though legally unrecognized, are part of our community and our hearts. This Night Run was a visible sign: no one runs alone.

A Moment of Prayer

Before the 5 km course began, Fr. Piotr gathered the group for a moment of quiet prayer. Together, they prayed the Our Father, and the Vicar blessed them with these words:

“Everyone belongs. You are in our hearts. We share the same home - in the Church.”

Three Rhythms, One Spirit

The runners of the Vicariate moved out in three groups, each with its own rhythm and purpose:

• Group One: Focused and determined, running with strength and endurance.
• Led by Ilan, Ferdie, and Adam.
• Group Two: Steady and united, encouraging one another step by step.
• Led by Fr. Piotr.
• Group Three: Joyful and reflective, turning every step into a celebration of life and belonging.
• Led by Danielle and Monika.

At the Finish Line

Laughter, exhaustion, and gratitude mingled. As the night ended, Fr. Piotr blessed each participant and their individual journeys:

“May faith, hope, and love continue to guide your paths.”

What began as a run became a living testimony:

Faith unites. Hope endures. Love gives strength to all.

A Special Mention

One runner stood out: Apulog Alejandro, who completed the 15 km run with outstanding time and remarkable endurance.

Looking Ahead

As the lights of Tel Aviv faded into the night, one promise remained:

“We will meet again—in March, in Jerusalem.”
