Night Run Tel Aviv 2025


On the night of October 29, 2025, the streets of Tel Aviv glowed with movement, rhythm, and light as 42 participants from the St. James Vicariate joined the Night Run Tel Aviv among tens of thousands of runners.


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.”
