Marathons in Divided Cities: Comparing Jerusalem with Belfast and Beirut (English version)

Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage

In the eyes of the public, marathon routes are indissolubly linked to a particular city landscape. And this is even more true of city marathons in divided cities, such as Belfast, Beirut or Jerusalem. In these three cases, the city environment has been marked by a history of violent disputes about the boundaries between neighborhoods and communities. The marathon routes have to cross these boundaries, and do so peacefully, without creating new kinds of disputes. The boundaries themselves may be considered local, but crossing them has a more global (one could also say national) significance, testifying to the global relevance of the organizational principles on which marathons in divided cities are based.
