Ultra-Orthodox American-Israeli Beatie Deutsch is an elite marathon runner, and she’s upending expectations. She’s competed at the national level in Israel since then, including five wins at the Israeli National Championship Marathon in Tiberias. This weekend, on September 21, Deutsch will be running the Berlin Marathon, her second of the seven world marathon majors. She’s not chasing a specific time since she’s coming back from a hamstring injury, but aims to run the 26.2 miles in the 2:30’s. She’ll be running her fourth marathon/third marathon world major in New York in November 2025.
