Beirut Marathon Is Back: Run For Hope

After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic and instability in Lebanon, the Beirut Marathon Association is bringing back its annual marathon!


As a symbol of courage, the association has decided to “Run for Hope” this year, and it will be fundraising for eight Lebanese NGOs: 

1. Beit El Baraka

2. Neonate Fund

3. Brave Heart

4. Lebanese Autism Society

5. CCCL

6. Teach A Child

7. Live Love Beirut

8. IDRAAC


This event will be happening over two days at Beirut Waterfront and will also be held virtually, giving global runners abroad a chance to participate: the 5 KM charity run will take place on Saturday, November 13, while the 8 KM race, 21.1 KM half marathon, and 42.2 KM marathon will be happening on Sunday, October 14.

Applications for the November 14 races are still open until October 27. You can register to join the physical or virtual run here.
