With the Jerusalem International Marathon coming up March 21, El Al Israel Airlines is offering special fares to promote the event.
Members of the airline's Matmid frequent flyer program can save 15 percent on flights to the marathon. Other attendees can receive a 10 percent discount.
Running has become a major activity in Israel. The country will host eight major races this year.
On the flights just previous to the Jerusalem International Marathon, El Al will conduct an in-flight exercise program called Flying Fit, devised by Danny Musico, a trainer who has worked with celebrities such as Tobey Maquire, Jessica Simpson and Kevin Connolly.
The exercise program is designed to help relieve aching muscles, poor circulation and flight fatigue.
Discounted fares can be purchased by going onto the airline's website.
