With stars (or colors 🌈) full in your eyes, you'll leave! In February, come to Lebanon to take part in the Rolling Half. For the third consecutive time, the association Beirut Marathon 🔥 organizes this unique half marathon, connecting two important cities of the country: Selaâta to Jbeil. A springtime weather 🌷 awaits you, with temperatures around 15°. A bit of sunshine ☀️ won’t hurt, unlike last year's race… ☁️ This year, novelty! A relay race, sounds good? For the first time, a relay in fours 🧑🧑🧒🧒 is organized, perfect for enjoying with your friends or family! Put on your sneakers, and get your ticket ready for this Lebanese run 🇱🇧.
Two cities, several routes, but only one path. That's what awaits you for this 21.1 km madness 🎉. The goal of this half, a race 🏃 that takes you from city to city. It almost feels like we're organizing a discovery trip of the country 😂. Along your route, you'll discover beautiful landscapes, starting with the splendid Mediterranean Sea 💙. There's nothing better to motivate: a run along the seaside 🌊, with a view of coastal stretches. The sound of the waves will lull you all the way along the Lebanese coast 🛣️. But that's not all, as you'll have the chance to explore lush landscapes ☘️. A panorama that changes like a chameleon 🦎. The typical villages will also be part of it, like Batroun or Hamat, discoveries that are worth it! 😍 But what could be better than doing it in a group? Yes, you can also organize a race with others to share this memorable moment 🙌. A quartet to cross the finish line, it's impressive! ⚡️As the organization wishes, a personalized 💫 and intimate experience is sought. Therefore, you will run in a small group of a maximum of 1,500 people per race (that's already not bad 🙄), ensuring an enjoyable run! 💞
A discovery while running is too fast, slow your pace 💨, and come explore this beautiful country! In Lebanon, history reigns 👸, and you have monuments everywhere! Its climate is favorable for preserving artifacts (quite a complicated word 🥵), which are human elements dating from archaeological excavations 👷♀️. Basically, there, you have what it takes for a journey that takes you back in time, to admire the traces of ancient inhabitants 🧌. For instance, the Byblos Castle 🏰 dates from the 8th century, and its walls are still there! A museum was also created to recount its history. If ancient times aren't your thing, you'll have the beach 🏖️ as far as the eye can see. You have Tyre Beach, known for being the most beautiful beach in the country ⭐️, but also the cleanest! If your stomach starts to rumble, there's plenty in terms of gastronomy 🍲! The hummus, I think you know it. Well, taste a real one, you surely won't be disappointed 🤤. Don't miss out on the mezzes, these flavorful dishes. That's its French translation anyway!
A Half Marathon without half measures, a clear and efficient route. Two cities, connected by your strides. Selaata, known for its stadium 🏟️, will welcome you for the starting line. You can then follow the coast of Lebanon, admiring the Mediterranean which will be by your side all along. Passing through green and colorful landscapes 💐, you will also cross typical villages. Batroun, Hamat, Amchit, fishermen and warm locals will cheer you on to keep your motivation. And to finish, a finish line in the historic district of Jbeil! It is part of Byblos, one of the oldest cities in the world 🏛️. You dive into a historic race, waiting for you to have fun, challenge yourself, or beat your record.
Want to have fun with 3 people from your circle? It's quite possible 😆. And all this organized in a Lebanese Semi-Marathon. Magnificent landscapes await you, sharing 21 km, you'll discover very different panoramas 🌅. The sea, the plains, the villages, it's all there! But one thing won't change, the Mediterranean Sea 🌊, by your side the whole way. And we promise at the end you can all swim together 👙.
